Angela Young, LCSW

Angela Young is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Kentucky. She brings nine years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and low motivation. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can name what is hard and take small steps toward change.

She focuses on practical help rather than labels. Sessions often include skill building for managing stress, ways to rebuild confidence, and strategies to improve sleep and daily routines. Angela uses tools from several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs and goals.

Her style is warm and cooperative. She listens first, then works with people to set achievable goals. Progress is treated as a series of small improvements instead of sudden fixes, and sessions emphasize realistic steps that fit everyday life.

People come for many reasons beyond anxiety and stress. Angela supports those coping with grief, chronic health challenges, caregiver strain, relationship and communication struggles, and feelings of isolation or shame. She also offers coaching around career direction, life purpose, and behavior change like smoking cessation.

Sessions are aimed at helping people understand how thoughts and habits affect feelings. From there she helps craft practical plans, build momentum, and practice new skills between meetings. The focus is on usable tools and steady forward movement rather than quick solutions.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and finding direction after loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that worsen mood or sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to concerns, discuss goals, and together pick methods that feel most helpful. That collaborative process may blend techniques so sessions match a person's needs and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and keep work or caregiving interruptions to a minimum. It also allows for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and for using mindfulness and behavioral exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to work in remote sessions to help with stress, anxiety, sleep, and daily routines.
