About Angela
Angela Young is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in Kentucky and has nine years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and motivation. Angela aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to take the first steps toward change.
Her approach starts with building a comfortable, nonjudgmental space. She listens to each person’s concerns and helps set clear, doable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and collaborative, with tools people can try between meetings. Angela uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and create workable habits. Mindfulness practices and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are available when emotional regulation or stress tolerance are priorities.
She adapts methods to match what feels useful for each person. She also attends to life circumstances that affect well-being. This includes caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and career-related pressure.
Angela offers support for grief, isolation, guilt, and other painful emotions so people can move forward at their own pace. Practical matters are part of her work too. She helps people break big problems into smaller steps, try tools between sessions, and adjust plans when life changes.
Angela places value on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options
Angela commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. Acceptance and commitment therapy encourages people to clarify values and build small actions toward them while learning to tolerate difficult feelings. She also uses client-centered principles to keep the conversation grounded in each person’s experience, and mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try different strategies, and adjust the plan over time to find what helps most. Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations, while phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, coaching-style support, or brief coping reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other commitments while still working toward steady progress.Frequently asked questions
