Deonia Young, LICSW, LCSW, CSW

Deonia Young is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, listed with AL LICSW and GA LCSW, with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, relationship and family concerns, and coping with life changes. She also addresses mood concerns such as depression and issues with self-esteem and anger. Sessions are provided in English and are aimed at practical problem-solving for daily life.

Deonia uses a mix of approaches to help people manage specific problems and build skills. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and staying grounded during intense feelings. Attachment-Based strategies are woven in when relationship or family patterns are a concern.

Her work often focuses on concrete goals: reducing panic or worry, managing anger, improving communication, or creating routines that ease parenting and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with trauma, abandonment and adoption issues, and grief after loss. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are used to clarify strengths and next steps when motivation or change feels stalled.

Deonia keeps sessions practical and action-oriented. She helps clients try tools between appointments, then reviews what worked. Her approach is direct and problem-focused, with space to talk through feelings when needed.

People looking for help in Georgia can expect straightforward conversations about coping strategies, problem-solving, and planning next steps. International clients are not accepted.
