Deonia Young, LICSW, LCSW, CSW - Therapist in Georgia

About Deonia

Deonia Young is a licensed social worker who uses practical, relationship-focused therapy to support parents and families. She works in Georgia and draws on structured techniques and relational insight to help people manage stress, grief, anxiety, and family tension. Deonia holds LICSW, LCSW, and CSW credentials and brings six years of clinical experience to her work.

She speaks English and conducts sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Background and approach

She focuses on everyday problems that affect family life, including parenting challenges, communication breakdowns, and coping with major life changes. She also helps with anger, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and concerns tied to adoption, attachment, or caregiver stress. Sessions often include straightforward tools for managing symptoms and improving family interactions.

Deonia blends Attachment-Based Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques. That mix lets her address relationship patterns alongside the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to set achievable goals and build momentum.

Her style is warm and flexible. She aims to create a space where parents can speak honestly about worries and test new ways of communicating. Practical skills, short-term goals, and steady support are common parts of the work.

To begin, clients use a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. The process starts by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for families

Deonia commonly combines Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape feelings and behavior and helps people change patterns that affect family life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when strong emotions or impulsivity get in the way of parenting or relationships. DBT skills can teach emotional regulation and healthier ways to respond during heated moments. Choosing which approaches to use is a collaborative process - the therapist works with each person to match methods to goals and preferences rather than imposing a single model.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. These options make it easier to join from home, follow up between sessions, and practice new skills in real situations. The variety of formats supports flexible scheduling and different needs, whether someone prefers talking live or checking in through messages.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
