Zaundrea Young, LPC

Zaundrea Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with nine years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the challenges that follow major life changes. Her style is direct and encouraging, aimed at helping people take practical steps toward feeling better.

She helps people who are coping with addiction, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also works with issues like anger, bipolar symptoms, grief, self-esteem, parenting stress, and ADHD. Sessions are built around clear goals and small, achievable steps.

Her approach centers on listening without judgment. She creates a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly. That calm, steady presence is paired with techniques that help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Zaundrea uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and mixes in client-centered listening and mindfulness. She also applies motivational interviewing to help people clarify what they want and find the motivation to change. Those tools are used together to fit each person's situation.

People who come to her can expect straightforward guidance and practical exercises to try between sessions. She supports clients as they build skills, practice new habits, and track progress. The focus is on making steady, workable changes that fit everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. In online sessions this often means setting small tasks to try between meetings and reviewing what happened together. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and making space for a person's experience; online conversations focus on understanding goals and building trust through steady, respectful communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. That may mean using CBT tools for symptom relief, client-centered methods for emotional support, or combining techniques over time to see what helps.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited or if someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework prompts, or when a shorter, higher-frequency contact helps maintain momentum. These options offer flexibility so people can use therapy in ways that work for their everyday routine.
