About Lisa
Lisa Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 15 years of practice. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, relationship strain around intimacy, and life changes. She also supports people living with ADHD, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and struggles with shame or isolation.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral approaches while keeping a trauma-aware perspective. Sessions often include a mix of therapeutic techniques, brief coaching, and plain explanation of tools people can try between meetings.
Lisa draws on several evidence-informed methods as needed. She uses CBT to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She may use EMDR and trauma-focused work when past events are keeping someone stuck. Motivational interviewing and Internal Family Systems ideas also appear when they help clarify goals and internal conflicts.
She mentions lived experience with a late ADHD diagnosis and brings that perspective to working with attention and executive function challenges. Outside work she balances family life with creative pursuits and small-scale farming, which she says keeps her grounded and practical in sessions.
People looking for focused help with anger, PTSD symptoms, or everyday stress can expect a clear plan, specific strategies, and room to try things between meetings. If you want to explore whether her approach fits, follow the site's steps to view online therapy options and arrange a first session.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Lisa commonly blends cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused methods in her work. CBT is about spotting thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments, which helps reduce heated reactions and unhelpful behaviors. Trauma-focused work and EMDR focus on how past events are showing up now and aim to help the nervous system respond differently to triggers.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with the client about goals, what has helped before, and what feels doable, then recommend starting steps. That plan is revisited as needed so strategies match changes in life or progress made.
