Angela Young, LCSW

Angela Young is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in Kentucky. She has nine years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, sleep troubles, low self-esteem, and motivation. Angela focuses on practical steps that people can try between sessions. She aims to build a calm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared.

She uses straight talk and active listening to help people sort what matters most to them. Angela draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based ideas to spot thought patterns and try new behaviors. She also uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when those approaches fit the situation.

Sessions are collaborative and goal oriented. Angela helps people set clear, achievable steps toward better sleep, healthier habits, or reduced anxiety. She also supports people facing grief, chronic illness, caregiver strain, or career stress and burnout.

Short-term coaching-style work is an option when someone needs focused change, such as quitting smoking or improving communication. She pays attention to issues like guilt, shame, isolation, and attachment concerns as they come up in conversation.

Angela offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. She works in English and practices as an LCSW in Kentucky. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Angela often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing out new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is useful for problems like worry, sleep disruption, and low motivation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another approach she uses; ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. ACT can help with grief, chronic illness adjustment, and persistent worry.

She treats the choice of approach as a team effort. During the first sessions she will listen to your goals and suggest which methods might fit best. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps you make steady progress.

Online work is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skill practice, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets you share thoughts between sessions. These options let people keep momentum while balancing work, caregiving, or health needs.
