About Diseree

Diseree Young, LMSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and parenting worries. She works with individuals on issues like depression, addiction, ADHD, and adoption and foster care questions. Her tone is warm and supportive and she aims to create a calm space for honest conversation.

With four decades of practice, she draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions focus on helping clients notice what matters to them, build useful skills, and try new ways of coping. Everyday problems like sleep disruption, low self-esteem, or trouble managing anger are addressed with practical steps that can be used between meetings.

Her style is interactive and person-centered. She listens first, then collaborates on goals and small experiments clients can try. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and emotion-focused ideas to improve connections and intimacy where needed.

Diseree describes therapy as a step-by-step process. She emphasizes strengths people already have and offers encouragement as they practice change. Progress is measured in real-life differences such as better communication, calmer reactions, or more predictable routines.

People seeking help for family concerns, adoption and foster care matters, or long-standing mood and anxiety problems may find her approach practical and steady. Prospective clients are encouraged to start with a simple matching process before scheduling so they can discuss current needs and next steps.

Approaches that guide online work

Diseree uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their values, accept difficult thoughts, and take small actions toward what matters. ACT can be useful for anxiety, chronic stress, and life transitions.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT is often helpful for anxious thoughts, low mood, sleep problems, and anger management.

Finding the right approach is part of how she works. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That means checking in about what helps and adjusting techniques as progress continues.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full appointment is not possible. Different approaches can be adapted for remote work so skills practice, values-based tasks, and cognitive exercises still happen between meetings.
