About Deonia
Deonia Young is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Georgia. She brings six years of clinical experience and a long history as a social worker to each session. Deonia aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can talk through hard feelings and practical problems without judgment.
Her approach draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She blends these methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Sessions also address parenting challenges, relationship and family difficulties, and issues around adoption and foster care.
Deonia helps clients work on self-esteem, impulsivity, and coping with major life changes. She supports those dealing with grief, anger, isolation, and feelings of guilt or shame. Her work includes attention to attachment concerns, family of origin issues, and caregiver stress.
Practical skills and small, steady changes are part of her style. Clients can expect straightforward tools from CBT and DBT for emotion regulation, plus solution-focused steps for immediate goals. Motivational Interviewing is used to build readiness for change and to keep progress moving.
Deonia conducts sessions in English and practices in Georgia. She holds the LICSW, LCSW, and CSW credentials listed here. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape current bonds and reactions. In brief online work this can mean mapping patterns, improving communication habits, and building a steadier sense of safety in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behaviors.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan together. Clients and the therapist decide which methods feel most helpful based on needs and preferences rather than using one fixed approach.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice new skills in their day-to-day routine and bring real situations into sessions for focused problem solving.
