About Stephanie

Stephanie Young is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who blends evidence-informed strategies with a warm, relational approach to help people navigate stress, mood concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes cognitive behavioral techniques to address patterns of anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, and related mood or personality challenges, while also drawing on client-centered and solution-focused methods to support practical change and personal growth.

With a Master's degree in Clinical Counseling and 13 years of post-graduate experience, Stephanie has worked extensively with people facing addiction and dual diagnosis, and she has substantial experience in marriage and family work as well as coaching in life skills and communication.

Her practice also attends to issues such as parenting, LGBT concerns, career and self-esteem struggles, social phobia, and adjustment after traumatic brain injury. Stephanie aims to create a collaborative, straightforward atmosphere where clients can build skills, try creative interventions, and be challenged when needed to make progress.

She practices in Utah and offers services in English, combining practical behavior-oriented tools with an emphasis on a strong therapeutic relationship.

Integrating Practical Approaches into Online Care

Stephanie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, phobias, and coping with life changes. She also employs Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client’s perspective and build a trusting therapeutic relationship that supports change and self-exploration.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, preferences, and what techniques seem most helpful, adjusting methods as progress and needs evolve. This teamwork helps ensure the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow sessions to fit into busy schedules, provide continuity when in-person visits are difficult, and support regular skill practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions used in person to these remote formats so clients can work on concrete tools and strategies from wherever they are.
