About Diseree

Diseree Young is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with four decades of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, grief, addiction, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

Her work includes attention to issues such as parenting, intimacy, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue, as well as additional areas like attachment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness, and caregiving stress. Her therapeutic manner is warm, engaged, and encouraging, emphasizing the client as the center of change.

Diseree blends client-centered work with practical, evidence-informed strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior techniques, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, while drawing on Internal Family Systems ideas to explore internal parts when useful. Across sessions she aims to build on clients' existing strengths and to support step-by-step progress toward clearer goals and improved daily functioning.

Diseree offers services through several online formats and speaks English. Her long career has given her experience with many age groups and family structures, and she frames treatment around each person’s unique needs and preferences.

How integrative approaches translate to online therapy

Diseree draws on Internal Family Systems to help clients notice and dialogue with different internal parts, which can illuminate patterns around relationships, trauma responses, or self-criticism. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build willingness to face difficult thoughts and feelings while pursuing meaningful goals. Client-centered methods provide a supportive, nonjudgmental foundation that prioritizes the client’s experience and pacing throughout the work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify which methods match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, and may blend techniques so the work feels personalized and practical.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or mobility considerations, and they allow therapists and clients to focus on skills, reflection, and progress in ways that fit each person’s life.
