About James
Dr. James Young is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. He focuses on concerns common in early adulthood such as stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, and issues with concentration and focus related to ADHD. He has also worked with trauma, grief, depression, relationship matters, and the LGBTQ community.
He uses clear, straightforward conversation to help people sort through immediate problems and next steps. Sessions tend to focus on practical strategies for day-to-day functioning, like managing anxiety during exams or at work, improving focus, and handling major life changes. He also addresses longer standing concerns such as trauma responses and grief.
Dr. Young draws on several evidence-based methods. He uses client-centered therapy to listen and shape goals around what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used for skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness techniques help with attention and stress management.
People who choose him often want help with transitions - leaving home, first jobs, college pressures, or relationship shifts. He also offers support for those navigating identity, adoption or foster care related concerns, and caregiver stress. His work includes attention to addictions and bipolar and mood-related challenges when those are part of the picture.
Dr. Young works in English and practices in Florida. He asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to match goals and schedule an initial session. The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building goals that reflect what the client wants. Online sessions using this approach usually spend time clarifying priorities and checking progress toward concrete steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In an online setting CBT often uses short exercises, worksheets, and between-session practice to address anxiety, low mood, and focus problems.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust what is used based on how helpful it feels. This is a collaborative process that aims to match methods to the client's needs and preferences.
