About Diseree
Diseree Young is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 40 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting pressures, and substance-related issues. Diseree also supports people dealing with grief, self-esteem, sleep and eating concerns, and life changes that feel overwhelming.
She uses practical, person-centered methods in conversation. Sessions focus on identifying patterns from family of origin and current life that get in the way. Diseree helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, and then try different ways of coping. She draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques and acceptance-based ideas to support those changes.
Her background includes work across a wide age range and with diverse identities, including LGBTQ people and those navigating adoption, foster care, or blended family issues. Diseree has also supported people managing chronic illness, caregiving stress, and career or commitment concerns. Her approach mixes problem-focused skills with attention to how feelings and relationships shape everyday choices.
In sessions she often uses emotion-focused ideas to clarify important relationships and DBT strategies for managing strong emotions and improving communication. People can expect steady, structured conversations that address specific problems and everyday functioning. Diseree emphasizes small, doable steps that fit into routine life.
Her practice recognizes the influence of childhood relationships and attachment patterns on adult behavior. She invites clients to look at those family dynamics with curiosity and practical tools for change. To begin, clients use the site process to match and schedule an initial session.
How Diseree integrates approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and patterns rooted in family of origin. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to change mood and functioning. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating concerns, and anger management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diseree will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That means trying strategies, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together based on how things are going.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Practically, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in visits when needed. Many people find that video or phone sessions let them practice skills between meetings and bring real-life examples to the conversation. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt exercises like behavioral experiments, emotion regulation drills, and value-guided actions to an online setting so progress can carry over into everyday routines.
