About Diseree
Diseree Young is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with four decades of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, or major life changes. Her approach aims to help clients feel steadier day to day and make small, manageable changes that add up over time.
She uses a person-centered style that keeps the client's priorities central. Sessions are interactive and supportive, with an emphasis on practical skills and real-life problem solving.
Background and approach
Diseree draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thinking and on acceptance-based strategies to help people live in line with their values. Clients who have faced trauma, addiction, parenting strains, or challenges related to identity and relationships will find a calm, encouraging presence. She also works with concerns such as sleep and eating problems, career stress, ADHD, and chronic illness coping.
Diseree focuses on helping people notice strengths they already have and build on them. Her background includes long-term work with diverse age groups and many life stages. That experience informs a flexible bedside manner and straightforward tools people can use between sessions.
The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. People who prefer clear, warm guidance and practical steps tend to do well in her sessions. She helps set realistic goals, practices new skills together, and checks in on what’s working.
Over time clients often report more confidence in handling daily stressors.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and still move toward what matters to them. It often focuses on building values-based goals and small, actionable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thinking and behavior patterns, teaching practical tools to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about their goals, try techniques, and adapt based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to choose whether acceptance strategies, cognitive skills, or a mix fits best for the issue at hand.
Online sessions can be delivered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction to practice new skills. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or useful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick updates, coaching moments, or for people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue steady work on real-life challenges.
