Saundrea Young, LCSW

Saundrea Young is an LCSW licensed in California who helps people coping with life changes, stress, anxiety, and grief. She brings four decades of clinical experience to conversations about illness, medical treatment, and transitions. Her work also addresses aging concerns, caregiver stress, body image, and chronic pain or disability.

She takes a straightforward, person-focused approach in sessions. Saundrea listens closely and shapes the conversation to each person’s needs. She tries to make space for practical problem solving as well as for naming hard emotions.

Her practice blends client-centered methods with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, depending on what will help most. That means she follows the client's lead while offering ways to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Treatment plans are individualized rather than one-size-fits-all.

Saundrea emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work. She encourages people to notice their own strengths and to build on them at a manageable pace. Taking the first step toward support is framed as a brave and useful move.

Clients who choose to begin an initial match will complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Saundrea blends client-centered care and CBT online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist reflects concerns, validates feelings, and helps the client set priorities for change. This approach is useful when someone needs a calm, nonjudgmental space to sort through life changes or caregiving strain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It offers simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try different coping behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, stress, and getting through medically related worries in everyday life.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Saundrea will collaborate with each client to decide what methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts plans as progress is made and as needs change so people can try practical tools alongside deeper conversation.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn how sessions are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people maintain continuity of care during life transitions while focusing on the goals they bring to therapy.
