About Deonia
Deonia Young is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, relationship and family concerns, anger, depression, low self-esteem, and ADHD. Sessions are practical and focused on real-life problems rather than theory alone.
Her approach blends clear, skills-based methods. She uses parts of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and impulsive reactions. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help set small, doable goals and keep progress moving.
In sessions Deonia talks through how problems show up day to day. She helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what works. Sessions often include exercises to manage strong feelings, improve communication, and reduce stress at work or home.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current reactions. That can help when anger or trust issues keep recurring. The focus is practical - building strategies to handle intense moments and repair strained relationships.
Deonia uses plain language and straightforward tools. She asks about immediate goals and then tests approaches that fit busy lives. People leave sessions with specific steps to try between meetings.
She practices in Georgia, speaks English, and holds the credentials LICSW, LCSW, and CSW. The subscription-based model for sessions can be canceled at any time, and clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling the first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Deonia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in practical ways. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anger and anxiety. DBT teaches concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills that help in high-intensity moments.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to understand how early relationship patterns influence current reactions. That perspective can clarify why resentment or anger repeats and help build better communication. Choosing which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process; the therapist and client work together to test methods and adjust based on what helps most.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to practice skills in real-life settings and bring immediate examples into sessions. The therapist will discuss session length, frequency, and the best ways to try homework between meetings during the first appointments.
