Jennie Young

Jennie Young is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with anxiety, addictions, grief and loss, relationship challenges, changes in life, and questions about purpose. She also works with concerns such as low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, and panic symptoms.

Jennie focuses on straightforward conversation and practical problem solving. Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns that get in the way, and testing small changes that can make daily life easier. She uses methods grounded in client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral approaches to guide that work.

People meet Jennie to work on caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, or struggles after divorce and separation. She also supports those dealing with drug and alcohol addiction, process addictions, social anxiety, and seasonal affective symptoms. Life purpose questions and feelings of isolation or guilt are part of her caseload as well.

Across sessions Jennie aims for clear, practical steps clients can try between meetings. She often helps people break bigger problems into manageable pieces and track what does or does not help. Conversations are direct and focused on what someone wants to change next.

Jennie practices in Alabama and conducts work in English. She asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin the process.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful conversation where the client leads the topic. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and supports the client's own sense of what matters. This approach is helpful for people facing life changes, grief, or doubts about purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It breaks down problems into concrete parts and tests small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, phobias, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennie will collaborate with each person to decide if client-centered discussion, CBT techniques, or a mix fits best. That decision is based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences rather than a fixed formula.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Discussing how sessions will work and what to try between meetings is part of the first appointments.
