About Jacob

Jacob Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a calm, practical style to therapy. He helps people who feel stuck by listening closely and working together to find what matters to them. Jacob aims to make sessions straightforward and respectful, so people can speak freely and move forward at a comfortable pace.

He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and existential approaches in his work. That means conversations focus on values, what someone is carrying, and small steps that align with those priorities instead of quick fixes. Sessions are attentive and collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Jacob has experience with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, and compassion fatigue. He also addresses issues such as codependency, loneliness, mood and personality concerns, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and various process addictions. He has spent four years practicing in Louisiana as an LPC.

Many people come to him when life transitions or ongoing stress feel overwhelming. He also supports those navigating substance use recovery and the emotional fallout from difficult experiences. Jacob tries to meet each person where they are and tailor work to their needs and goals.

In session, expect a therapist who is engaged, transparent, and respectful of pace. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy button. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Jacob’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what they value, accept hard feelings, and take small steps that match those values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Existential approaches focus on meaning, choice, and personal responsibility, helping people who feel stuck or disconnected to clarify what matters and make intentional changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacob collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He adapts the pace and techniques so the plan feels manageable and useful in everyday life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use virtual meetings to focus on values-based work, build coping strategies, and support recovery and life transitions without requiring an in-person visit.
