About Diseree
Diseree Young is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 40 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship worries, parenting strain, and ADHD. Her tone is warm and direct, aimed at people who want clear steps and steady support.
She uses person-centered listening to learn what matters most to each client. Sessions include straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and actions.
Background and approach
Diseree also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values even when feelings are hard. Diseree describes her style as engaged and supportive. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and works with clients to set small, doable goals.
Meetings tend to focus on practical strategies the person can try between sessions and on tracking what helps. Her work spans many concerns - grief, trauma, addictions, intimacy or sexual issues, sleep and eating problems, career transitions, caregiver stress, and more. She also supports people dealing with attachment, adoption or foster care history, chronic health problems, and body image struggles.
Over four decades she has offered a mix of humanistic and reality-based approaches alongside cognitive methods. That mix is aimed at helping people build strengths, reduce distress, and make changes that fit their daily lives.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Diseree commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings and commit to actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns that contribute to distress and practicing behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust strategies over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to emphasize based on how well they work in real life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good when visual cues and a fuller conversation matter. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging may suit people who want brief, ongoing support or flexible check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
