Diseree Young, LMSW

Diseree Young is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with four decades of experience. She offers a calm, approachable presence for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and other life challenges. Her style is warm and interactive, focused on listening and practical steps that fit each person's life.

She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are part of her approach too, helping people clarify what matters and take small actions toward those values. Client-centered principles guide sessions so the person's goals lead the work.

Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-focused. Diseree helps people break big problems into manageable steps and practices skills between meetings. She pays attention to how emotions, relationships, and daily routines affect mood and functioning.

Her experience spans many issues including parenting stress, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, ADHD, body image, and caregiving strain. She also supports people dealing with career decisions, intimacy-related worries, and grief from loss. The emphasis is practical support and steady encouragement.

People who choose her often want a therapist who listens without judgment and helps them try real changes. Diseree combines long experience with straightforward techniques to help people move forward at a pace that feels right.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Diseree draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thoughts that feed worry or low mood and to test small behavior changes that can shift how they feel. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her work and helps people identify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss different methods and tailor sessions based on each person's needs, goals, and preferences so the plan fits real life. Together they decide what techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let sessions feel face to face, phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is a concern, live chat allows brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, or other daily demands while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
