Jennie Young, LPC

Jennie Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She works with individuals facing addictions, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her approach emphasizes a nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly and begin to find practical ways forward.

In sessions she listens first and follows the person's lead. Jennie uses simple, clear methods to help people make sense of what they are feeling. She focuses on everyday steps that reduce overwhelm and build coping skills rather than on medical or diagnostic labels.

Jennie blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking or acting. This mix is often used for anxiety, panic, social fears, and patterns that feed depression or addiction.

Her work also addresses caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, end-of-life and hospice related issues, and communication problems that strain relationships. She supports people facing divorce, separation, and the loneliness that can follow life transitions.

Jennie encourages small experiments between sessions - simple changes that test new habits and build confidence. She aims to make therapy manageable and relevant to daily life. If you are ready to begin, she asks for that first step and will help you plan the next ones.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Jennie uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in straightforward ways. Client-centered therapy means she will listen closely and follow the person's priorities in sessions, helping them talk through what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic, or depressive patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to decide whether a listening-focused style, CBT techniques, or a mix feels most useful. Together they set simple goals and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit work into a busy life, try shorter check-ins, or avoid travel time. The exact session formats for working with her are not listed here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help maintain regular contact and practice new skills between meetings while balancing daily responsibilities.
