About Deonia
Deonia Young is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Georgia. She has six years of clinical experience and uses practical therapy methods to help people manage anxiety, stress, and depression. She focuses on everyday problems like relationship strain, family difficulties, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes.
She also helps people facing grief, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and attention-related concerns.
How Deonia works
Her work includes attention to issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, attachment problems, and caregiver stress. Her approach blends Attachment-Based Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, together with Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions are oriented toward clear goals and real skills someone can use between meetings.
She aims for straightforward conversations and practical strategies rather than clinical jargon. Deonia describes therapy as a collaborative process. She listens for patterns in how people relate and react, and then helps them try new ways of coping and communicating.
Progress often comes from small changes repeated over time. She uses a mix of session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Deonia practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules based on therapist availability.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect and feel safe with others. Online sessions use that lens to notice patterns in present relationships and to practice different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it works well for anxiety, depression, and stress and is easy to use in video or phone sessions.Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and daily life, then suggest which methods to try first. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps and what feels manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and role-play. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, homework review, or quick skill coaching between meetings. These options make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy into busy routines.
