About Deonia
Deonia Young is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings six years of clinical experience to her practice in Georgia. She talks plainly about stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, parenting struggles, relationship strains, and low self-esteem. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood when life feels overwhelming.
She uses practical tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help manage strong emotions and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she thinks about close relationships and how past bonds affect present behavior. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy add brief, goal-oriented strategies to keep progress moving. Sessions focus on clear steps and small changes that fit into day-to-day life.
She helps clients notice patterns, practice new behaviors, and try different ways of responding under stress. For parents, she offers ways to cope with the strain of caregiving and to handle conflict at home more calmly. Deonia emphasizes collaboration.
Clients set the goals and she brings methods that can be adjusted to match what matters most. Her style is flexible and practical rather than highly technical. She provides services in English and works with adults on issues such as depression, ADHD, anger, and life transitions.
Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

Approaches that fit your life online
Deonia often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach breaks problems into manageable steps and is useful for anxiety, depression, and low mood. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns, which can be helpful for parenting stress and relationship concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense feelings and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and comfort level, and adjusts strategies as progress is made. The process is practical and goal oriented, with regular check-ins about what is or isn’t working.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make it simple to check in between sessions or to have brief, focused conversations during a busy week. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing parenting and daily demands.
