Donna Young is a licensed clinical mental health counselor practicing in North Carolina with 25 years of experience providing psychotherapy. She holds an undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Virginia and a graduate degree in counseling psychology from Bowie State University. Over her career she has delivered care in a range of settings, including local and federal agencies, schools, and health care systems.
She works with individuals facing a wide array of challenges such as stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, depression, coping with life changes, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger management, self-esteem struggles, career difficulties, and compassion fatigue. Donna blends a holistic perspective with evidence-based methods to address these concerns.
Her therapeutic approach integrates key elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and solution-focused techniques to help clients uncover new insight and practical solutions. Donna aims to support people as they work through problems and move toward a happier, healthier, and more productive life.
Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, research and clinical practice indicate that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person treatment.
One major benefit is flexibility - people can connect with a therapist in the way that fits their schedule and comfort level, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to maintain regular appointments and integrate therapy into a busy life.
Licensed professionals deliver care through these remote options, and individuals may choose to switch therapists at any time if they need a different fit. For many, online therapy provides an accessible path to addressing everyday mental health concerns while accommodating the demands of modern life.
