About Karlee

Karlee Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. She also supports those facing family challenges, career questions, compassion fatigue, and issues related to ADHD.

She has worked in counseling for nine years and trained with a masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from California University of Pennsylvania.

Background and approach

Early in her career she worked in addiction services with adults and adolescents, including families affected by substance use. Later she focused on grief and end-of-life support, which led her to a steady interest in how change affects everyday life. Karlee uses a person-centered style that puts the relationship and empathy first.

She pairs that with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. That means sessions often include talking through current problems, noticing helpful and unhelpful thoughts, and trying small changes to see what works. Her approach looks at the whole person - emotional, physical, and social factors are considered when making plans.

She encourages clients to notice their beliefs and values so they can make choices that feel right. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Karlee practices in Pennsylvania and provides services in English.

She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - with license number PA LPC PC008962. If someone wants to start, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

How Karlee’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Karlee commonly uses client-centered techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people can explore their thoughts and decide what matters to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tests small changes in behavior to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

The right approach often becomes clear through conversation. Karlee works collaboratively to learn a person’s goals, needs, and preferences and then tailors methods that fit. She views the selection of techniques as a shared decision and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make scheduling easier around work, caregiving, or school and let people engage in ways that feel most comfortable. Practical tools from CBT or motivational interviewing can be practiced between messages or sessions, so online formats support ongoing, flexible work toward goals.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
