About Lisa

Lisa Young is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life changes. She sees people dealing with ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, low self-esteem, guilt and shame, and issues connected to hospice and end-of-life care. Her approach also supports those coping with isolation, post-traumatic stress, and questions about sexual orientation and identity.

She brings 15 years of clinical experience and a direct, down-to-earth style.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical strategies, coaching, and teaching skills that can be used between meetings. Lisa prefers plain language and works to make therapy feel like a helpful conversation rather than a lecture. Her clinical work blends cognitive behavioral therapy with trauma-focused methods and internal family systems ideas.

She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and mentions EMDR among the approaches she uses for trauma work. Treatment plans are flexible and change as needs shift over time. Lisa describes herself as compassionate and curious, and she aims to meet people where they are.

She understands the frustrations of late-diagnosis ADHD from her own life and uses that perspective when supporting clients with attention differences. Outside of practice she lives in Pennsylvania with her wife and two young children. She balances family life with a small farm and many creative interests, which inform her grounded and relatable therapeutic presence.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Lisa uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, as one option for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional impact. Motivational interviewing is another tool she employs to help people clarify goals and strengthen motivation to make changes.

Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as progress is made. This collaborative planning helps ensure the work matches what the client wants and needs.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions let people use visual cues and do deeper work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera time is limited, and chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care.
