About Stephanie

Stephanie Young is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 13 years of experience based in Utah. She works with adults on common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, career worries, and life transitions. Stephanie also lists support for LGBT issues and several focused areas like adoption and foster care and traumatic brain injury.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Southern Utah University and a master’s degree in clinical counseling from La Salle University. Much of her clinical work after graduate school has centered on addiction and dual diagnosis, often alongside mood disorders and personality-related challenges. She has also spent substantial time helping people sharpen communication and everyday life skills.

Stephanie uses cognitive behavioral techniques and behavior-focused work to map unhelpful patterns and build different responses. She pairs this with client-centered engagement so people can speak openly and make practical changes. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to set realistic goals and keep progress moving forward.

In sessions she can be direct about patterns that hold someone back, while also offering creative interventions to make work feel more active. That might mean skill-building exercises, targeted behavior changes, or short-term goal planning. Her aim is straightforward: identify what isn’t working and try practical, manageable steps to improve day-to-day functioning.

If someone is considering online therapy, Stephanie asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a cancelable subscription model.

How sessions work

How Stephanie blends practical methods for online sessions

Stephanie often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to spot thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, then helps people learn concrete skills to respond differently. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, anger, and habits linked to addictions.

She also uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and building a working relationship. That approach helps people feel heard while they try new strategies. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolbox for people who feel stuck or unsure about change; it helps clarify goals and build motivation without pressure.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Stephanie will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together the client and therapist decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is tracked.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work and family responsibilities, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about format details when you complete the matching questionnaire so the session structure fits everyday life.
