About Diseree
Diseree Young is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with four decades of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, parenting strains, or major life changes. Her approach is warm and interactive, focused on practical steps that people can use right away.
She uses a person-centered style that starts with understanding what matters to each person. Diseree draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help people move toward valued goals while managing difficult feelings.
Clients can expect a supportive and direct therapy experience. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, coping skills, and small behavior changes that add up. Diseree emphasizes building on the strengths clients already have and offering encouragement as they try new ways of coping.
Her background includes long-term work with a wide range of life issues such as depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She has worked with people across the life span and with LGBTQ concerns, adoption and foster care issues, aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image difficulties.
Diseree blends humanistic and psychodynamic perspectives with evidence-informed techniques to match each person's needs. She encourages a step-by-step process so changes feel manageable. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking to make sure they fit their needs.
Online approaches and how they can help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when emotions are difficult. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional patterns in relationships and strengthening emotional connection; it can be useful for intimacy and communication challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diseree will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She blends person-centered listening with techniques from ACT, CBT, and EFT to create a plan that feels manageable and relevant to day-to-day life.
