Saundrea Young

Saundrea Young is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people handle stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She brings a calm presence and a straightforward style to sessions. Many clients seek her support for worries tied to medical issues, caregiving, or the life shifts that come with aging.

With more than 40 years of clinical experience, Saundrea draws on practical talk therapy and evidence-informed techniques. She listens closely, then tailors conversation and goals to each person's situation. The focus is on small, usable steps that can reduce stress and ease day-to-day functioning.

Saundrea often helps people who are coping with a new medical diagnosis, chronic illness, or the strain of providing care for a loved one. She also works with concerns about body image and the emotional effects of aging. Sessions cover grief and loss work, and support people facing transitions and changing roles.

Her approach combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral therapy tools. That means she centers the person in the room and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She adapts the pace depending on each client's needs and comfort.

Saundrea aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can explore strengths and practice new ways of coping. She guides people to notice what helps them feel steadier, then build on those strategies over time.

Approaches that guide online work and choice

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. It prioritizes empathy and supports people as they name goals and make changes, which can help with grief, role changes, and the stress of caregiving.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses simple exercises to identify patterns in thoughts and behaviors. It aims to reduce anxiety and stress by trying new ways of thinking and small behavioral experiments that fit everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That process is collaborative and can change over time as goals evolve.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. They can also let people focus on practical skills between appointments to apply in daily routines.
