About Diseree

Diseree Young is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with four decades of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and other life changes. Her manner is warm and encouraging, aimed at helping clients take practical steps forward.

Diseree uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client's needs at the center of each session. She blends elements of cognitive behavioral work with acceptance-based ideas and emotion-focused methods to match the problem at hand. Sessions often focus on building skills for coping, communicating, and managing strong feelings like anger or grief.

She has a long history of working with a wide range of life stages and concerns, which informs a flexible, down-to-earth style. The work is collaborative: Diseree helps people identify goals, try new strategies, and adjust plans as needed. Progress is treated as a step-by-step process rather than a single event.

Her approach emphasizes strengths people already have and uses encouragement to support change. Clients can expect practical tools alongside reflective conversation about patterns and relationships. Diseree aims to help people live with more ease and experience more satisfying daily life.

Throughout her career she has supported people with trauma, grief, addictions, ADHD, caregiver stress, body image and many other concerns. Her focus is on clear steps and steady support so clients can make meaningful changes over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing difficult feelings like anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practicing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms and improve coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Diseree works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made. Clients and therapist decide together which exercises and tools fit daily life.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, because the biography does not list specific online options. Many people find online work helps them fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduces travel time, and makes it easier to keep regular appointments. It can also make shorter check-ins possible when days are tight, or allow sessions without being on camera when someone prefers that. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions when the method matches the client's needs and routine.
