New to Grow
Danielle Young, PhD, LCSW I’m Danielle Young, a doctoral-level clinician and licensed clinical social worker based in Goldsboro, NC, offering both in-person and secure virtual therapy. I work collaboratively with adults and couples who are ready to move from surviving to living with greater clarity, connection, and emotional balance. My approach is warm, direct, and rooted in evidence-based practices tailored to each person’s needs and pace. If you’re seeking a therapist who balances empathy with clear, action-oriented steps, we may be a good fit. I welcome clients who value authenticity, curiosity, and a commitment to personal growth.
My sessions are collaborative: we clarify your goals, learn skills to reduce distress, and explore underlying patterns that maintain suffering. I draw from cognitive-behavioral strategies, trauma-informed interventions, attachment- and emotion-focused frameworks, and mindfulness-based practices. I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where your experience is heard, validated, and honored.
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in cycles of low mood, or carrying the weight of past trauma. Others seek help when relationship patterns feel repeatedly painful or communication has broken down. I combine practical skills (for managing symptoms and building emotional regulation) with deeper relational and trauma-informed work to address both immediate relief and long-term change.
From the youngest child to the adult navigating life's hardest chapters — we offer compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to every age, every story, and every goal. Play Therapy Healing through the language children know best. Individual Counseling A space that is entirely, completely yours. Family Counseling Stronger connections, one conversation at a time. Teen Therapy A confidential space where teens can just be themselves.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Individual counseling offers a confidential, one-on-one space to explore what's weighing on you — whether that's anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, life transitions, or simply the desire to understand yourself more deeply. We draw from a range of evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, and trauma-informed care, always tailoring the work to your unique needs and goals. There is no agenda here except yours.
Family Therapy
Stronger connections, one conversation at a time. Families are complex, beautiful systems — and sometimes those systems need support. Family counseling brings everyone to the table to improve communication, repair ruptures, and build a shared foundation of understanding and trust. We work with families navigating conflict, major transitions (divorce, blended families, new siblings), parenting challenges, and the aftermath of trauma. Sessions are structured to ensure every voice is heard — including the quietest ones in the room.
Adlerian
Play Therapy Healing through the language children know best. Children don't always have the words to describe what they're feeling — but they can show us through play. Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) is a research-supported approach that uses the natural medium of play to help children process emotions, work through difficult experiences, and build lasting resilience. In our fully equipped playroom, children are given the freedom to lead their own sessions. The therapist follows the child's cues, creating a non-directive, accepting environment where healing unfolds organically. Over time, children develop emotional vocabulary, self-regulation skills, and a stronger sense of self.
