About Lisa
LCSW in Pennsylvania with 15 years of experience. Lisa Young helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, ADHD, intimacy concerns, and related struggles. She combines practical therapy, coaching, and education to address everyday problems and major life changes.
Lisa starts by listening to what is most pressing. She uses a trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy stance and mixes in other approaches as needed. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills practice, and small steps that fit into a person’s life. She also works with issues like guilt, shame, isolation, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and post-traumatic stress.
Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented. People who want help making concrete changes, managing emotions, or improving relationships may find this approach useful. She can coach on organization, accountability, and life management alongside therapy work for mood and anxiety concerns.
Lisa draws on specific methods such as CBT and EMDR when appropriate, and uses motivational interviewing and Internal Family Systems concepts to support change. She will explain techniques and why they might help before using them. The focus is on practical tools and understanding patterns that keep problems going.
Outside of practice, she is a parent and describes herself as a liberal feminist. She also identifies as a late-diagnosis ADHDer and connects that experience to her work with people who have ADHD. That personal perspective informs how she talks about diagnosis, daily structure, and coping strategies.

How her approaches work in online sessions
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying out new behaviors, and practicing skills between meetings to reduce anxiety and low mood.EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that uses bilateral stimulation alongside memory processing. It is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related distress when that approach fits the person’s needs.
Motivational interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and boosts readiness to act. It is brief and conversational and pairs well with other methods when motivation or ambivalence is present.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, explain how methods work, and tailor the plan to goals and preferences. Clients and therapist review progress and adjust techniques over time to find the best fit.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow a faster follow-up after a difficult week. Some approaches work well with focused skill practice and homework, while others, like EMDR, may require particular session pacing; the therapist will explain what to expect for each method.
