About Jacob
Jacob Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and compassion fatigue. He brings a calm, down-to-earth style to sessions and aims to help clients feel understood rather than rushed. Jacob works with adults and young adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves.
Jacob uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize values, meaning, and practical steps forward. He leans on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and existential perspectives to help clients clarify what matters to them.
Background and approach
Those approaches guide conversations about life purpose, hard choices, and living with difficult emotions. In practice Jacob helps people talk through mood disorders, bipolar signs, obsessive thoughts, and compulsive behaviors. He also supports those facing drug and alcohol addiction, process addictions, sex and porn addiction, and patterns of codependency.
Sessions include concrete tools for managing impulses, urges, and overwhelming feelings. He brings four years of clinical experience in Louisiana and identifies as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. Jacob emphasizes straightforward communication and works at a pace each person can handle.
Clients can expect clear, engaged feedback during sessions. Jacob offers multiple session formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. He uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and picking a time that fits the client’s schedule.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. Online sessions use this approach to set small, practical goals and build habits that fit daily life.Existential-informed work focuses on meaning, choice, and responsibility. In virtual conversations this looks like clarifying what matters, weighing options, and making decisions that feel authentic to the person’s life stage or goals.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through what’s been tried before, what matters now, and together decide which techniques to emphasize. That process can shift over time as goals and needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel close to in-person work, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on low-data connections, live chat supports shorter check-ins during a break, and text messaging lets someone send updates or reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while staying consistent with the work being done.
