About Deonia
Deonia Young is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with six years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, anger, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in Georgia.
Deonia uses a mix of practical approaches rather than a single method. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills help with emotional regulation and impulsivity.
Her background includes long experience in social work and several years focused on clinical practice. That combination informs work with family of origin issues, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and aging and geriatric issues. She also addresses shame, guilt, forgiveness, and body image in straightforward conversations.
In sessions she helps people talk through communication problems, feelings of isolation or loneliness, midlife questions, and the practical strain of caregiving. Parenting topics and family problems are approached with clear steps and problem-solving, not broad theory.
For someone feeling stuck after a job, relationship, or health change, she offers motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set small goals. Her style centers on clear feedback and concrete skills practice. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Deonia uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how patterns in past relationships affect present behavior and trust. That approach helps when relationship dynamics, family of origin issues, or attachment concerns are central to what someone wants to address.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and managing impulsivity, which is useful for anger, impulsivity, or ADHD-related struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will review your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
