About Stephanie
Stephanie Young is an LMHC and LCMHC practicing in Utah with 13 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and family concerns, LGBT matters, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and young adult issues.
Stephanie trained in psychology at Southern Utah University and completed a Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling at La Salle University. Much of her post-master's work has focused on addiction and dual diagnosis, which often involved treating depression, anxiety, and personality-related concerns. She has substantial experience addressing communication problems and blended family issues.
Her approach leans on cognitive behavioral techniques and behavior-focused strategies. She also uses client-centered methods and solution-focused work to set practical steps and build skills. Motivational interviewing is part of how she supports change, especially with addiction and readiness issues.
In sessions Stephanie emphasizes a working relationship that supports honest feedback and practical changes. She combines direct interventions with collaborative goal-setting. She may push on unhelpful patterns while also teaching specific strategies to manage mood, reduce anxiety, and improve communication.
Stephanie works with people dealing with life transitions common in early adulthood, such as career starts, relationship shifts, and coping with feeling behind. Her background includes adoption and foster care concerns, traumatic brain injury, and support for people who are visually impaired. She practices in Utah and conducts work in English.
How Stephanie’s approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful working relationship. The therapist listens closely and helps people clarify their goals while offering support and reflective feedback. This approach helps when someone needs to sort out feelings about identity, relationships, or life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It uses practical exercises and skill-building to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, and change unhelpful habits. CBT is commonly used for stress, social anxiety, and mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Stephanie will discuss goals and try methods that match those goals and your preferences. That collaborative process means techniques can shift as needs change.
Confirm what online session formats she currently offers before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions around school or early work shifts, and allow shorter check-ins when time is tight. Phone or video choices can help with lower bandwidth needs or when a quieter setting is needed, but please verify which formats are available for sessions with Stephanie.
