Jacob Young

Jacob Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with four years of clinical experience. He works with adults and teens facing stress, anxiety, addictions, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue. Jacob also supports people dealing with life purpose questions, isolation, codependency, and young adult issues.

He favors a collaborative, down-to-earth style. Sessions focus on understanding what someone is carrying and what matters to them. He pays attention to pace and avoids rushing people through difficult topics.

Jacob’s practice is shaped by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and existential ideas. That means conversations often look at values, what gives life meaning, and how to move forward in ways that fit personal priorities rather than only trying to remove symptoms.

People who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected may find this way of working useful. He also has experience with chronic stress, substance use recovery, and the emotional fallout of big life changes. Jacob is open about how he works and aims for clarity and respect in sessions.

In practical terms, sessions involve active listening, straightforward feedback, and collaborative planning. He encourages honesty and steady progress rather than quick fixes. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking action toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and situations where someone feels stuck.

Existential approaches invite direct conversations about meaning, responsibility, and the practical decisions that follow from what matters. This style helps when questions about life purpose, identity, or major transitions are central concerns.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Jacob will discuss ACT and existential ideas with each person and decide together which techniques fit the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative decision-making guides how sessions are structured and what homework or practices are suggested.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins that work around work or school. Phone or video each offer practical differences - for example, phone calls can be less bandwidth intensive and easier to fit on a break, while video allows for face-to-face interaction. Ask about current formats when you schedule so sessions match your daily routines.
