Lisa Young, LCSW

Lisa Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Pennsylvania with 15 years of practice experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related or self-esteem concerns. She also supports people facing guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life questions, isolation or loneliness, and post-traumatic stress.

Her style is practical and straightforward. She draws mainly from cognitive behavioral approaches while keeping a trauma-informed focus. Sessions often mix therapeutic interventions, practical coaching, and education so clients can try new strategies between meetings.

Lisa describes herself as someone who adapts to changing needs. She helps people set goals, track progress, and stay accountable when that is useful. She also works with people who are managing everyday pressures at work, family, money, and health without needing a major diagnosis.

She speaks from lived experience as a late-diagnosis ADHDer and a parent, which informs how she sees challenges such as attention, daily routines, and juggling responsibilities. That perspective shows up in practical suggestions and in how she frames treatment goals.

Outside clinical work she balances family life and creative projects, and she mentions hospice and end-of-life care among her focus areas. People looking for concrete strategies for mood, stress, trauma recovery, or goal-focused coaching will find an approach that emphasizes skills, problem solving, and steady progress.
