Sandee Young

Sandee Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Idaho with 21 years of professional experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and grief. She aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion as they consider change.

She has worked with LGBTQ clients and offers support for relationship concerns, coping with life changes, and career stress. She also helps people facing burnout, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to sleep or eating. Intellectual disability is listed among her areas of focus and she integrates that consideration into care when relevant.

Sandee builds therapy around each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method. She listens to what matters most, then shapes conversations and goals to fit those concerns. Sessions emphasize practical steps and steady progress toward clearer goals.

Her background includes two decades of direct clinical work across a range of life issues. That experience informs how she helps people manage mood disorders, bipolar challenges, social anxiety, and grief. She also supports caregivers and those facing aging or end-of-life questions.

People who meet with Sandee can expect a supportive, collaborative approach. She encourages realistic goals and small, workable changes. To begin, she asks about current struggles and what the person hopes to achieve, then helps plan the next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Sandee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical steps. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method is useful for stress, depression, and many forms of anxiety.

Another frequent element in her work is problem-solving and skill building. That means breaking challenges into smaller steps, practicing new behaviors, and measuring progress over time. This approach can help with sleep or eating concerns, caregiver stress, and managing everyday responsibilities.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options with each person and choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative decision and may change as work progresses.

For practical online therapy details, confirm session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your routine and technical comfort so sessions can be arranged to work with daily life.
