Jennie Young, LPC - Therapist in Alabama

About Jennie

Jennie Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or struggling with addictions. She also supports those facing low self-esteem, life changes, relationship problems, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue.

She aims to make the first step feel smaller by offering a straightforward, nonjudgmental space. Sessions focus on talking through what matters now and finding practical ways to cope.

Background and approach

Jennie keeps language simple and tries to make sessions feel calm and grounded. Her work blends client-centered principles with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy. That means she listens closely and then helps clients test new ways of thinking and behaving.

The mix is meant to be adaptable to each person’s needs. Jennie has helped people with a wide range of concerns over two decades. Examples include panic attacks, phobias, seasonal mood shifts, process addictions like gambling or exercise, and substance use challenges.

She also addresses aging and caregiver stress, end-of-life and hospice concerns, and issues such as guilt, forgiveness, and isolation. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and simple strategies you can use between appointments. Jennie encourages honest conversation about setbacks and small wins.

Her approach is practical, steady, and aimed at helping people move forward step by step.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping clients feel understood. The aim is to create a safe space where people can talk honestly and identify what matters most to them. This approach suits those who need a steady, accepting environment to sort through feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test thoughts and build new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, panic, low mood, and addictive patterns. CBT is often goal-oriented and practical in focus.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Jennie works with clients to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. She adjusts strategies as progress and needs change, so therapy feels collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work between meetings. Flexible formats also help people stay connected during stressful times while using the same therapeutic tools they would in person.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
