Diseree Young

Diseree Young is a Michigan-based therapist who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and issues related to self-esteem. She uses a warm, interactive approach and draws on many years of practice to help people take practical steps forward. Diseree’s credential is Licensed Masters Social Worker, LMSW, and she brings four decades of experience to her work.

She meets people where they are and works at a pace that feels manageable. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and real-life skills, whether the need is coping with mood changes, addressing addictive behaviors, or improving communication. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, caregiving stress, chronic illness, or life transitions.

Diseree blends client-centered listening with cognitive and behavioral strategies. That means she listens first, then suggests concrete tools and experiments to try between sessions. Her style is described as compassionate and interactive, encouraging small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.

Over 40 years she has worked with a broad range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, intimacy and sexual issues, attention differences, eating and sleep struggles, and career stress. She also addresses topics such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, and body image.

People who prefer straightforward conversations and practical exercises may find her approach especially helpful. The focus is on building skills, understanding patterns, and supporting personal growth in everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-guided actions instead of getting stuck. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that maintain distress, and it often includes practical exercises to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding emotional responses and improving attachment and communication, which can help with relationship and intimacy concerns.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as therapy progresses. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits each person’s needs.

The original biography did not specify which session formats are used, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow people to use tools and worksheets between meetings. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel time and let them schedule therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and emotionally-focused techniques to remote sessions, aiming for practical progress even when meeting online.
