Young uses techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, and mindfulness practices to help people manage symptoms and build new habits. He also draws on emotionally-focused methods and motivational interviewing when exploring relationships and drive to change. These approaches are explained plainly in early sessions so clients know what to expect.

How his approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. It helps when someone needs a trusting space to sort through feelings and make choices about change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions influence mood. It offers practical exercises and behavior changes that target anxiety, depression, and attention-related struggles.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple present-moment skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These practices can help with stress, concentration, and coping after difficult experiences.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Young will talk with clients about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. He adjusts techniques if something isn’t working and checks in about progress regularly.
Online therapy lets people access these methods by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and interactive skill work, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows brief check-ins, and messaging supports shorter updates or coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit care into busy days and varied schedules.
