About Lisa
Lisa Young is a Pennsylvania LCSW with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, ADHD, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and related issues. Sessions often include coaching around goals and everyday coping skills.
She describes her approach as trauma-informed and rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy. Lisa blends therapeutic interventions, psychoeducation, and coaching techniques. That means sessions can alternate between talking through feelings, practicing specific skills, and setting clear, manageable goals.
Her experience includes helping people manage depression and anxiety and supporting those with ADHD challenges. She also addresses grief, end-of-life concerns, guilt and shame, isolation, and post-traumatic stress. People who are mostly managing but want accountability for goals also seek her out.
Lisa is a late-diagnosis ADHDer and brings that lived perspective to her work. She balances a busy life with family and creative projects, and that practical orientation shows up in how she structures sessions. Expect straightforward conversations and hands-on tools to try between meetings.
She offers an approach that adapts as needs change. Sessions may combine short-term strategies for stress and anger with deeper trauma-focused work when needed. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches fit into online sessions
Lisa commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR in her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and practicing different behaviors to reduce anger and anxiety. EMDR involves guided processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That discussion can happen over the first few sessions and the plan can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, whether someone needs a shorter check-in between commitments or wants to avoid travel time. It can also allow for steady, regular contact while working on anger management, skills practice, trauma processing, and goal-focused coaching with a licensed professional.
