About Sandee
Sandee Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Idaho with 21 years of professional experience. She works with adults on common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She also addresses issues related to relationships, career, sleep, and mood disorders.
Young has worked with LGBTQ+ people and brings that background into sessions when relevant. Her practice also includes support for those coping with trauma and abuse, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses listed include aging and caregiver stress, family of origin issues, and end-of-life concerns including hospice counseling.
In sessions she adapts how she talks and plans care to fit a person’s situation. That means discussions and next steps are shaped around the concerns the person brings. She frames work in practical terms so clients can try things between meetings and see what helps.
People often come in feeling stuck under guilt or shame, or dealing with grief and loss from relationships or life changes. Young works with those feelings directly, helping people name them, look at how they affect daily life, and practice different ways of responding.
Her years of practice include a range of settings that inform her approach to problem solving and coping. Meetings are focused and straightforward, with attention to clear goals and steps. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking so arrangements match their needs.
How evidence-based approaches guide online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on concrete skills and clear tools. For example, cognitive-behavioral approaches look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and teach practical ways to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. This can help with anxiety, depression, and guilt-driven rumination.Another commonly used approach emphasizes skills for emotion regulation and coping. That work teaches ways to tolerate strong emotions, establish steady routines like sleep and activity, and reduce burnout or compassion fatigue. These skills are often useful when grief, trauma, or mood swings interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking how they feel in practice, and adjusting plans together over time.
Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting meetings around work or caregiving, avoiding travel time, and using shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. The biography does not list specific remote formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. The emphasis is on making therapy fit into everyday life while focusing on skills and steps that can be practiced between meetings.
