Jacob Young

Jacob Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a calm, down-to-earth style to therapy. He aims to create a space where people feel understood and can talk about what they are carrying without judgment. Jacob focuses on helping those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves.

He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and existential ideas. That means sessions focus on clarifying values, noticing what matters, and taking small steps that fit the life someone wants to build. Jacob pays close attention to pacing and aims to match his work to each person's needs rather than following a fixed plan.

Jacob has four years of clinical experience and has supported people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue. He also helps with substance-related concerns, process addictions, and the challenges of guilt, shame, and impulsivity. Isolation and loneliness are part of his stated focus areas.

People who have tried therapy before and felt it didn’t fit may find his collaborative approach useful. In sessions he is engaged and transparent about the process. He encourages honest conversation while honoring a person’s pace and readiness to change.

Jacob practices in Louisiana and conducts work in English. He asks people to start by using the site’s Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire to arrange an initial appointment.

Approaches that guide online work and decision-making

Jacob draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in plain, usable ways, helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and feelings of being stuck because it focuses on living a chosen life rather than only changing thoughts.

He also uses existential ideas to help people make sense of life transitions and meaning-related questions. This involves open conversation about purpose, choices, and what feels authentic, which can help when someone feels disconnected or alone.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Jacob treats the choice of methods as a collaborative decision based on a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. He checks in regularly and adapts the focus and pace so the approach fits the person rather than the other way around.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let someone continue care when life or location changes, while the therapist and client decide together how to structure sessions to best support progress.
