About Angela

Angela Young is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Kentucky with nine years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep difficulties, and challenges around self-esteem and motivation.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses eating concerns, anger, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and support for those managing chronic pain, illness, or disability. She draws from evidence-informed approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), DBT, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and a client-centered stance.

Angela aims to cultivate an atmosphere where clients can express thoughts and feelings without judgment and explore practical strategies for coping and change. She emphasizes collaboration and empowers clients to take steps toward a more satisfying life while pacing work to meet each person’s readiness and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Angela integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and sleep disruptions. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in clarifying values, increasing psychological flexibility, and taking meaningful action even when difficult feelings are present. Client-centered therapy informs her overall stance, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and tailoring the pace and focus to what each person brings.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist and client work together to determine which methods fit best with the client's goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She emphasizes shared decision making and adjusts techniques over time as progress and needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels with technology. These options can make it easier to maintain consistency in care, try different communication formats, and access support from home or other convenient locations.
