About Angela

Angela Young is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Kentucky. She has nine years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and motivation. Angela emphasizes a straightforward, nonjudgmental approach that aims to make the first steps toward change feel possible.

She creates space for people to talk through what is most difficult right now. Sessions focus on practical tools and small changes that build confidence. Angela offers coaching-style support alongside therapy to help people follow through on goals and new habits.

Her work often addresses anger and coping with life changes, and she also helps with compassion fatigue and career stress. Additional areas include attachment questions, caregiver strain, chronic pain and illness, and struggles with guilt or shame. She helps people examine patterns in relationships and communication so they can try different ways of responding.

Clinically, Angela draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, client-centered therapy, and mindfulness. Those methods are used to teach skills for managing emotions, changing unhelpful thoughts, and staying present.

People who prefer a calm, practical style and clear steps to try between sessions may find her approach helpful. She supports each person at their own pace and focuses on manageable changes that fit everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice their thoughts and values, then take meaningful action even when emotions are uncomfortable. It can help with anxiety, anger, and motivation by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, habits, and behaviors interact, and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can be useful for stress, sleep, and managing strong feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Angela will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can blend techniques so each plan is tailored and adjusted over time.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist and platform. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and let people choose a quieter space or a shorter check-in when needed. Licensed professionals often use these benefits to help clients practice skills between sessions and keep momentum toward their goals.
