Barnetta Young, LPC

Barnetta Young is an LPC in Georgia with 25 years of clinical experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma and abuse. She offers straightforward, compassionate support for relationship and family concerns, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and self-esteem struggles. Her style aims to make difficult problems easier to talk about and manage.

Her background includes long work with women and people dealing with workplace strain and social isolation. She also brings experience addressing multicultural concerns and the stress caregivers often feel. That experience shapes a respectful, nonjudgmental way of working with each person who comes in.

In sessions she uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, practical goals that move a person forward.

Barnetta helps people build coping skills, reduce overwhelming emotions, and make concrete changes in daily life. She focuses on simple strategies that people can use between sessions. The work is practical and aimed at improving how a person feels and functions day to day.

People who reach out can expect a steady, respectful presence and clear steps to address their concerns. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and then follow the Start Therapy process to match and schedule time with her.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist creates space for someone to describe their concerns and priorities and then adapts the pace to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going, which often leads to specific exercises and steps to try between meetings. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical changes and clear short-term goals to build momentum.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods that fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted over time based on what helps.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It also makes it easier to continue consistent work through life transitions and when juggling caregiving or work demands.
