About Deonia
Deonia Young is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, relationship and family matters, depression, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Deonia uses straightforward language in sessions and centers conversations on practical steps people can take to feel more in control.
Her approach blends elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Attachment-Based ideas. In conversation she helps people notice recurring family patterns and how those patterns affect current choices. Sessions often include learning new skills for managing emotions, trying small behavioral changes, and setting achievable goals.
Deonia pays attention to family of origin issues and attachment concerns when those topics come up. She works with people who want to understand how roles, expectations, and old ways of relating shape their present relationships and reactions. This can include communication problems, feelings of abandonment, or difficulty managing anger.
Practical tools are a mainstay of her work. Clients may practice emotion regulation techniques from DBT, experiment with cognitive reframes from CBT, and use motivational interviewing to find reasons to change. Deonia also uses brief, goal-focused exercises to move toward specific life adjustments.
Sessions are conversational and focused on results that fit day-to-day life. She speaks English and offers services in Georgia. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Deonia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to see what helps. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and making daily routines more manageable. DBT focuses on skills for regulating strong emotions and improving how people respond to stress and conflict. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking what feels manageable, adjusting techniques, and setting short-term targets together. Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. They also allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight or for a session without being on camera when needed. The practical aim is to make sessions work within everyday life while using CBT and DBT skills to address family patterns and coping needs.Areas of expertise
