About Diseree
Diseree Young is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 40 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, relationship strain, grief, and challenges like ADHD or addiction. Her tone is warm and direct, aimed at helping worried parents and adults find steady ways forward.
She uses a person-centered approach that puts each person's needs first. Sessions focus on building strength already present, setting small goals, and trying practical steps that fit daily life. Diseree blends cognitive-behavioral ideas with emotionally-focused and acceptance-based tools to address thoughts, feelings, and behavior together.
Her style is interactive and supportive. She listens, reflects what feels most important, and helps people try new ways of coping. Parents often get concrete ideas for sleep, eating, and parenting routines, while individuals may practice skills for managing anger, stress, or relationship conflict.
Across decades of practice she has worked with a wide range of concerns and life stages. That background informs a flexible approach to problems like trauma, chronic illness, and changes that come with aging. She also brings experience supporting people who identify as LGBT.
If someone prefers clear steps and steady encouragement, Diseree focuses on collaborative planning and workable strategies. Prospective clients are invited to share what feels hardest now so sessions can begin with practical priorities.

Step 3
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small committed actions. It helps people tolerate difficult thoughts and move toward what matters, which can reduce avoidance and increase day-to-day engagement. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. That can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions and strengthen emotional connections in relationships, useful for couples or individual work on intimacy and communication.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to see which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Sessions can mix elements from these approaches so the work matches what a person needs that day.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports trying tools and homework between meetings so changes can be tested in real life and reviewed in the next session.
