About Angela
Angela Young is a licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky with nine years of professional experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, low self-esteem, depression, and struggles with motivation. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she aims to make it easier to talk about hard things.
She creates a calm space where clients can name their concerns and try new ways of coping. Conversations focus on what matters to the person, and goals are set together.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, with tools that people can use between meetings. Angela uses Narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered approaches to support values-driven choices and build self-compassion.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy methods are available when targeting thought patterns, mood, and emotion regulation. She has worked with people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, attachment concerns, isolation, and career questions. Angela also supports those working through guilt, forgiveness, control issues, and the search for life purpose.
Smoking or vaping cessation and coping with compassion fatigue are additional focus areas. If someone is ready to take a step toward change, she offers straightforward guidance and steady encouragement. The first sessions often focus on identifying priorities and trying small experiments that fit daily life.

Online session options
Approaches that guide online care
Angela blends Narrative therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered work to shape online sessions. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from the problems they face and rewrite unhelpful stories about identity and failure. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing hard thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values. Client-centered therapy emphasizes active listening, empathy, and giving the client space to lead the conversation.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Angela treats therapy as a collaboration and will work with the person to find methods that match their goals and preferences. Early sessions are used to identify priorities and try approaches to see what feels most helpful.
Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face when a longer discussion is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick coping strategies, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and varied circumstances.
