About Diseree
Diseree Young is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 40 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship problems, grief, and a wide range of other concerns listed in her practice specialties. Sessions are offered in English and intended for people based in the United States.
Diseree works in a person-centered way that keeps the client’s goals first. She uses practical conversation to identify patterns that get in the way of everyday life. The work often includes looking at thoughts, feelings, and behavior to find small changes that feel doable.
Her approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered principles. That means sessions may include mindfulness and values work, skills for managing distress, and attention to emotional bonds in relationships. She emphasizes clear, step-by-step progress rather than abstract theory.
Diseree has experience across many life stages and family situations. She helps with parenting stress, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiving strain, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also addresses addictions, body image, sleep and eating concerns, and career-related stress.
Practical goals are part of the plan. Clients can expect a mix of listening, guided reflection, and concrete strategies they can try between sessions. To begin, the site matching process is used to schedule an initial appointment and set therapy goals.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small, values-based steps. It often includes mindfulness and practical exercises to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotional experience and attachment patterns in relationships and can help people understand and change how they respond to close others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as new issues come up or goals change.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let clients practice skills in places they live and work, then bring observations back to the next meeting for discussion.
