About Sandee
Sandee Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Idaho with 21 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem and life changes, and includes support for LGBTQ+ people in her practice.
She focuses on clear, practical conversations about what is happening now. Sessions look at immediate concerns such as trouble sleeping, low mood, or coping after a loss. She also helps people who are rethinking work, relationships, or life purpose to sort through options and next steps.
Her approach centers on listening first, then developing a plan that fits each person. That plan can include steps to build confidence, manage anxiety, address caregiving strain, or handle communication problems. She also has experience with mood disorders, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among helping professionals.
Sandee has worked with people dealing with family of origin issues, caregiving and hospice stress, and age-related concerns. She addresses practical problems like eating and sleeping difficulties and the guilt or shame that can follow major life events. Her style is straightforward and goal-focused, with attention to what the client wants to change.
People who meet with her should expect an individual plan and clear next steps. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to identify priorities and set goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Sandee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people facing anxiety, mood problems, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety and low mood, and can include practical exercises to test new behaviors. Behavioural strategies concentrate on small, achievable changes in daily routines and sleep, which often reduce stress and improve energy. Problem-focused talking work addresses immediate life decisions like career shifts or caregiving challenges by clarifying options and planning next steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods as progress is assessed. That collaborative process helps align techniques with what actually helps in day-to-day life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions let them fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, or make check-ins easier during busy periods. Others prefer sessions that allow shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when that works better. Ask about current session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first appointment.
