John D. Young
I am a Licensed Clinician Social Worker in the State of Virginia with over 3 decades of experience working with adults in a variety of settings. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Counseling and specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, and anger. I can also address the needs that patients may have who are struggling with a family member dealing with addiction to alcohol or drug use. My focus is on providing my clients an opportunity to develop healthy coping skills that allow them to become empowered to manage their own emotions and feelings and work on a recovery plan that allows them to move on successfully from painful or challenging emotions or experiences. I practice in a part time capacity and sessions are provided Sunday-Thursday 7p-9p and Fridays 4p-6p. I only provide teletherapy based therapy and this allows me to provide therapy in to patients who may be located in any area of the state of Virginia. I enjoy the telehealth platform and the flexibility it allows for me to help a wide variety of patients. I currently am located near Harrisonburg VA.

First session
In our first session I will be interested in your perspective on the issue or issues you wish to address. I will obtain a social and family history, medical history, past behavioral health history and any other information that you might feel is helpful to know about the issue or issues you are wanting to address. I primarily utilize the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach in my practice, and I will review how we might use this approach to improve your situation and how it works. I will normally provide some handouts after the first visit that can help you understand the concepts I utilize in my approach using CBT.
