Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Diseree Young uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach helps people build self-awareness, strengthen self-esteem and explore relationship or identity concerns at their own pace.
She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress and related difficulties. CBT is often used to develop skills for coping with day-to-day challenges and improving mood and functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Diseree works with each client to identify goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques to fit individual needs so that therapy feels relevant and achievable.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family and mobility constraints, and they support continuity of care when in-person meetings are not practical. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured, effective support while accommodating varied lifestyles and needs.
