Erik Young, LMHC, LPC

Erik Young is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of clinical experience in Florida. He works with adults who are trying to make sense of stress, anxiety, family dynamics, trauma, parenting concerns, and other emotional challenges. Erik lists family of origin issues among his focuses and often helps clients trace how early relationships still shape current life patterns.

He takes a practical, straightforward approach in sessions. Conversations focus on patterns that cause pain or get in the way of relationships and daily life. He uses talk, exercises, and skills practice to help people notice reactions and try new responses.

Erik draws on several well-known methods, including attachment-based approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, mindfulness practices, and client-centered work. He blends these tools to match what a person needs in the moment rather than sticking to one fixed method.

Many clients come for help with parenting stress, grief, relationship strain, or managing mood and attention differences. He also supports those dealing with anger, sleep or eating changes, and the practical impacts of career and life transitions.

Sessions are aimed at clear, manageable steps people can use between meetings. He asks questions, offers feedback, and helps people experiment with different ways of handling old patterns.
