Deonia Young, LICSW, LCSW, CSW

Deonia Young is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma and abuse. She brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions and focuses on practical steps that can be used between appointments. Deonia aims to create a space where clients can speak honestly about difficult feelings without fear of judgment.

She uses a blend of approaches to match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and connection needs.

Deonia has six years of clinical experience as a social worker and holds the credentials LICSW, LCSW, and CSW. She has supported people dealing with parenting stress, relationship and family problems, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and attention challenges. Her additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, and life transitions.

Sessions prioritize clear goals and simple tools. Clients can expect collaborative planning, skill practice, and regular check-ins on progress. Deonia encourages steady, manageable steps toward change rather than quick fixes.

She practices in Georgia and conducts work in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Deonia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in straightforward ways online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsivity, and improving coping during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process aims to match tools to each person's needs and daily life challenges.

Confirm available session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed on the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in real-life settings and bring current problems straight into the conversation.
