About Lisa Young
Working from a trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy stance, Lisa adapts her approach as needs shift over time. She draws from a range of modalities to support people with ADHD, mood concerns, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions, as well as those seeking accountability and goal-setting support. Her practice also addresses hospice and end-of-life counseling, isolation and loneliness, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, and LGBT-related concerns.
Based in Pennsylvania, Lisa sees each client as a whole person rather than a set of symptoms, tailoring sessions to current priorities and practical goals. Outside of her clinical work she identifies as a liberal and feminist woman, lives with her wife and two young children, and is a late-diagnosis ADHDer who understands the lived experience of that journey. She maintains a small farm and a range of creative interests, bringing warmth and real-world perspective to her therapeutic and coaching work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Lisa Young
Lisa Young often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing into her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more useful strategies - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact, which can support recovery from traumatic events. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, useful for goal-setting and behavior change.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor treatment to practical life demands and individual values.
Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow therapy to fit around family and work responsibilities, and enable continuity of care when attending in person is difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to deliver structured, goal-oriented work while accommodating each client's preferred pace and style.
