About Zaundrea

Zaundrea Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for parents and families facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her approach aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and real.

She builds a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they think and feel. Sessions tend to be collaborative and respectful, with an emphasis on listening first and planning next steps together.

Background and approach

Zaundrea encourages clients to set small, doable goals and to notice progress along the way. In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and create trust. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and Mindfulness strategies to help manage stress in the moment.

Motivational Interviewing techniques help when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change. Her work with families highlights clear communication and coping skills that can ease everyday pressures. Parents report practical tools for boundary-setting, emotional regulation, and reducing conflict at home.

The focus is on skills that families can try between sessions. Zaundrea presents therapy as a partnership. She offers steady encouragement and practical steps rather than quick fixes.

If someone is ready to try a different path, she helps them plan the next move and supports them while they build new patterns.

Therapeutic approaches for online family support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s priorities. It helps build trust and makes it easier to explore sensitive family or parenting issues without pressure.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches simple skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that affect family life. Mindfulness Therapy adds brief practices to calm the body and attention when emotions run high, which can help during conflicts or moments of overwhelm.

Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. The therapist will discuss which approaches might fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust methods as progress is made. That collaborative planning helps clients try strategies that feel sensible and doable.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging provide flexible options for shorter check-ins or when schedules are tight. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care and to practice new skills in real life while getting support from a licensed professional.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
