About Jacob
Jacob Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four years of clinical experience based in Louisiana. He works with adults and teens on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. He also helps people who are carrying guilt and shame linked to relationships, behavior, faith, or past choices.
Jacob uses a down-to-earth, collaborative way of working. He leans on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and existential ideas to focus on what a person is carrying and what matters to them. Sessions center on understanding feelings and values rather than quick fixes.
People who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected often look to him for help. He has experience with substance use recovery, chronic stress, and the emotional fallout from difficult life events. He also supports concerns such as codependency, impulsivity, loneliness, and issues common in young adults.
In the room he aims to be engaged, transparent, and respectful of pace. Conversations typically explore what the client wants to prioritize and practical steps that fit their life. He does not use a one-size-fits-all model and adjusts the work based on each person’s responses.
Jacob invites honest discussion about hard feelings, including guilt and shame, without judgment. To begin, people can complete the site’s short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the approach fits their needs.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Jacob incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on noticing thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them, and helping people take actions that align with their values. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and persistent guilt or shame.He also uses existential approaches that look at meaning, responsibility, and choices. This helps people who feel disconnected or unsure about life direction to clarify what matters and consider small practical steps forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide whether ACT, existential techniques, or a mix fits their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress and needs change.
