About Deonia

Deonia Young is a licensed social worker practicing in Georgia who brings six years of clinical experience to her work with individuals and families. She holds the credentials LICSW, LCSW, and CSW - titles that indicate advanced clinical social work training and licensure to provide therapeutic care. Deonia focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, coping with life changes, relationship and family issues, anger, self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and struggles with guilt, shame, or isolation.

Deonia uses a warm, flexible, integrated approach that blends elements from Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, develop practical coping skills, and build insight into patterns that affect daily functioning and relationships. Her style emphasizes empathy, practical strategies, and a strengths-based outlook to help clients navigate transitions and heal from past wounds.

Taking the first step toward therapy can be difficult, and Deonia aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore challenges and pursue meaningful change at a pace that feels right for them.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy helps explore how early relationships shape current patterns in connections and trust, and can be useful for clients working through family of origin issues, adoption or foster care concerns, and attachment challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can benefit people managing intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Deonia partners with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors techniques collaboratively so the work feels relevant and achievable. This collaborative process helps ensure the selected methods fit the person rather than expecting the person to fit a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to connect from different locations. These options can increase accessibility, support continuity of care during life transitions, and allow therapists and clients to focus on practical, skills-based work regardless of physical distance.
