About Diseree
Diseree Young is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with over 40 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of other concerns. Diseree also supports clients dealing with addictions, eating and sleeping issues, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, grief, career stress, and LGBTQ matters.
Her style is down-to-earth and person-centered. Sessions focus on clear conversation about what is happening now. She encourages practical steps and emotional awareness rather than technical language. Many clients are looking to change patterns, manage strong feelings, or rebuild connection, and that is where she starts.
Diseree draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered approaches. She blends those methods into straightforward work that looks at emotions, thoughts, and behaviors together. That mix is useful for relationship patterns, attachment concerns, and emotional struggles that are hard to name.
In a session she listens, offers reflections, and helps develop coping skills and clear actions to try between meetings. She also pays attention to how past losses, abandonment, foster care or adoption experiences, or caregiving stress show up in daily life. Practical tools for communication and boundaries are commonly part of the work.
People who choose her often want a steady, experienced clinician to help them sort complicated feelings and make small, sustainable changes. To begin, clients follow the site's matching steps and schedule an initial session to see how the work fits their goals.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with strong emotions and attachment patterns. It is often used when relationship cycles or hard-to-name feelings keep repeating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choosing actions that reflect personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviors and uses concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion happens in the first sessions and can shift as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or between obligations. It can also make shorter check-ins possible when a quick skill practice or follow-up is helpful. Licensed professionals commonly find online work supports continuity of care and the same practical tools used in person, adjusted for the screen or phone setting.
