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 works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, and depression. Deonia aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
She uses an attachment-based outlook alongside practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
Background and approach
That means she pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns, and she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and skills that reduce strong emotions. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. Deonia helps people set clear, small steps they can try between sessions.
She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to keep work practical and forward-moving. Deonia often addresses family of origin issues, communication problems, caregiver stress, and feelings of abandonment. She also supports people dealing with body image, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, and midlife transitions.
Her approach balances listening with concrete strategies. Her background includes social work practice over many years and a focus on making therapy approachable. She presents herself as warm and flexible, encouraging clients to share thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Deonia explains options and collaborates on a plan that fits each person’s life. Therapy sessions are offered in English and take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Fees vary with location and use a cancelable subscription model.

Online support
How attachment and skills-based methods work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect today. Online sessions help clients name patterns in relationships and try new ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In video or text sessions clients learn practical strategies to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and tackle specific problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed together.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus more on attachment patterns, thought work, emotion regulation, or a mix of methods.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls are close to an in-person session and let the therapist and client read facial cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for quick check-ins, shorter skill practices, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily routines.
