    About Stephanie

    Stephanie Young is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LMHC, LCMHC) based in Utah. She brings 13 years of experience and a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Stephanie focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction, and she also supports those navigating career pressures, relationship strain, and parenting challenges.

    Stephanie keeps things straightforward in therapy. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to identify unhelpful patterns and to build small, doable changes. She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused methods to tailor work to each person’s goals.

    Much of her clinical background includes work with addiction and dual diagnosis, which gave her experience addressing mood disorders, personality concerns, and co-occurring symptoms. She has also spent time helping people with communication skills, blended family issues, and the stresses that come with adoption and foster care situations.

    Sessions emphasize building a strong working relationship while also challenging patterns that hold people back. Stephanie aims to be direct when needed and creative with techniques so progress feels real and practical. She encourages people to try small steps that add up over time.

    People who reach out can expect clear goals, practical tools, and collaborative planning. The focus is on manageable change that fits everyday life, whether coping with social anxiety, recovering from setbacks, or improving self-esteem.

  2. How Motivational Interviewing and CBT Help Online

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on the small decisions that lead to change. It helps people find their own reasons to shift habits and reduces resistance when making tough choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions to build practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Stephanie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation guides which strategies are used and how sessions are paced, so the plan fits the person’s needs.

    Confirm current session options before booking so you know how Stephanie schedules appointments. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for focused check-ins between other responsibilities. It can also let people try brief skill practice or follow-up sessions without a long commute. Ask about session length and scheduling when you match to see what will work best for your routine.
