Lisa Young

Lisa Young is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 15 years of practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and isolation and loneliness. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related struggles, and issues like guilt and shame. Her manner is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make hard times more manageable and meaningful.

Lisa often blends trauma-focused work with cognitive behavioral techniques. She describes her style as compassionate, curious, and practical. Sessions can include therapeutic interventions, coaching, and education, depending on the moment and the person. That mix is meant to meet changing needs rather than stick to one rigid plan.

She draws on her own life experience as a late-diagnosis ADHDer and as a parent, which informs her empathy for busy people juggling many roles. She enjoys helping people who have chronic anxiety or attention challenges, and those who want a sounding board to set goals and stay accountable. Lisa emphasizes partnership and respect in each meeting.

In therapy with her, clients can expect clear conversation and actionable steps. Goals might include reducing overwhelm, managing symptoms, improving relationships with self and others, or working through grief and loss. Lisa aims to support steady, realistic progress while honoring each person's values and pace.

Lisa practices in Pennsylvania and provides services in English. If you are looking for help with loneliness, life transitions, or managing ongoing stress, she can be a steady presence as you work toward change.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress to create clearer routines and reduce overwhelm. EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity; it is commonly used for post-traumatic stress and past abuse.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs, and comfort. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new priorities come up.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. It can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make regular attendance simpler for people juggling family and work. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions, and the focus stays on practical steps, symptom management, and building routines that work day to day.
