Sandee Young

Sandee Young is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Idaho with 21 years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also has experience supporting LGBT clients and people facing challenges like ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and caregiving stress.

In sessions she focuses on practical conversation and concrete steps. She listens for what matters most to each person, then adapts the plan to those priorities. Conversations may cover everyday routines, coping skills, and changes that affect work and relationships.

Sandee also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, communication problems, and relationship strain. She helps with end-of-life and hospice-related concerns, aging and geriatric issues, and caregiver stress. Clients bring concerns about eating and sleeping, social anxiety, seasonal mood shifts, and feelings of guilt or shame.

Her approach emphasizes clear goals and steady progress. She combines direct talk with problem-solving tasks clients can try between sessions. The work can include practical coaching around career and life purpose questions when that is a focus.

Sandee conducts sessions in English and practices in Idaho. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions

Sandee works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and behavior change. One common approach emphasizes building concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching step-by-step strategies to manage worry, sleep problems, and daily routines. Another often-used method targets mood and thought patterns, helping people notice unhelpful thinking and try alternative ways of responding to low mood or self-doubt.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options, try different methods when needed, and adjust the plan based on the client's goals and how they respond. This collaborative process helps identify which techniques fit best for career questions, grieving, or questions about life purpose.

For practical matters, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats are better for a focused skills session, while others suit longer conversations about relationships or life changes. Discussing preferences at the first meeting helps match the session structure to everyday life needs.
