About Karlee
Karlee Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and big life changes. She brings nine years of counseling experience and a calm, straightforward approach to conversations about work, family, addiction, and caregiving strain. Karlee earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from California University of Pennsylvania.
Early in her career she worked in addiction services, supporting adults and adolescents through substance use issues and the effects of family substance use.
Background and approach
That work expanded into grief counseling and helping people regain a sense of control after loss or major transitions. Her style is warm and person-centered. She focuses on building trust and listening carefully so each person feels heard.
Sessions emphasize practical steps and clear thinking rather than jargon or abstract theory. Karlee often uses cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and decision-making.
Mindfulness and existential ideas inform conversations about meaning and values when those topics come up. She supports people dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue, codependency, impulsivity, ADHD-related struggles, and young adult issues. She also works with caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and drug and alcohol concerns, tailoring strategies to each person’s situation.
How Karlee's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy places the person’s experience first and focuses on listening, empathy, and building trust. Online sessions use that same focus to help people talk through feelings, set goals, and try small changes between meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. In online sessions Karlee helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice manageable exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, or impulsive actions.
Motivational interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It can be useful for addiction, lifestyle shifts, or when someone feels stuck and wants to move forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karlee collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort. She adjusts pace and tools based on what works during early sessions and ongoing check-ins.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging give options for brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
