Diseree Young, LMSW

Diseree Young is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with four decades of clinical experience. She connects with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, relationship struggles, or changes at work and home. Her manner is warm and engaged, and she focuses on helping clients notice thoughts and everyday habits that shape mood and behavior.

She uses straightforward, person-centered care to help people set small, manageable goals. Sessions often look at thoughts, routines, and choices that keep problems going. Diseree draws on cognitive and behavioral tools to change unhelpful patterns while also attending to emotions and relationships.

Her background spans many life stages and situations. She has worked with children, adolescents, young adults, older adults, LGBTQ people, and others across diverse settings. That history informs a flexible approach that adapts to someone’s needs, whether the concern is parenting, addiction, trauma, or coping with major life changes.

Diseree blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work. She emphasizes practical steps clients can use between sessions to build new habits and reduce distress.

Based in Michigan, she brings a steady, encouraging presence to the work. People who prefer clear guidance, collaborative planning, and attention to everyday thoughts and habits may find her approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life transitions by focusing on small, meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches specific skills to change patterns that maintain distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That might mean mixing strategies from ACT and CBT or emphasizing emotion-focused work when relationships are central.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to try approaches and homework exercises between meetings, so skills are practiced in everyday settings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and behavioral experiments for remote sessions to keep progress moving forward.
