More about Lisa

Hello,

My name is Lisa Young. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor in Maryland and District of Columbia, respectively. I earned my Master of Education in Counseling Psychology from Temple University. Over the past 17 years, I have worked with clients in diverse settings such as outpatient community mental health agencies, behavioral health centers and schools. I have passionately and diligently provided treatment and guidance for adolescents, adults and families struggling with many issues affecting their emotional and social well-being.

As a licensed therapist, my goal is to provide individual psychotherapy to adults struggling with emotional and behavioral challenges in their lives such as anxiety, depression, illness, grief/loss, separation/divorce, stress and relationship conflicts.

I believe in working from a person centered and cognitive behavioral approach. During sessions, individuals identify negative thoughts and learn to implement healthier coping skills to replace these thoughts. The objective is to help you develop the tools needed to overcome life's adversities in a more effective way. I like for clients to reflect on the question, "Does what I do work for me?” If the answer is "No" or if you are undecided, then it is time for a change. Let's start this journey to build a new you. Through each session, you will become empowered to embrace change and accept the new you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Lisa was very kind and patient with my problems, and was very accommodating to my schedule. She had a very gentle demeanor, which I needed when I was feeling vulnerable.

Lisa was wonderful to work with! She understood my needs and concerns right off the bat. She is a great listener and gave tactile advice and strategies in response to my needs. She got to know me in a short period of time and I am grateful for her expertise!
