About Stephanie
Stephanie Young is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on practical, behavior-oriented work. She uses clear, goal-focused methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and relationship concerns. Stephanie works with parents, people exploring identity and LGBT issues, and those facing life changes or career stress.
She holds the LMHC and LCMHC credentials and brings 13 years of clinical experience in Utah. Stephanie’s background includes extensive work with addiction and dual diagnosis, which means she often sees co-occurring depression, anxiety, and personality concerns.
How Stephanie works
She has also spent significant time supporting people with blended family challenges, adoption and foster care issues, and communication problems. Her experience includes helping people cope after brain injury and addressing social anxiety, phobias, and mood disorders. In sessions she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered listening.
That means Stephanie helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior, while also prioritizing a respectful, collaborative relationship. She uses Motivational Interviewing to strengthen commitment to change and Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete, short-term goals. Her style is direct but warm.
She will both encourage progress and gently challenge barriers that get in the way. Many people find this mix helpful when they need both practical tools and a steady, supportive provider. Stephanie offers online appointments by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
People in Utah can connect in English and work with her on topics like parenting stress, career concerns, anger, self-esteem, and coping with major life changes.

How Stephanie's Approaches Fit Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience, which helps build trust and shape goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to recognize and change thinking and behavior patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and strengthens commitment when motivation wavers.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Stephanie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use, adjusting tools and goals as progress unfolds. That means treatment can be tailored to symptoms, daily life, and what a person wants to accomplish.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use techniques in real time.
