About Jacob
Jacob Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with four years of experience. He works with adults and teens who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, compassion fatigue, addictions, and mood concerns including bipolar disorder. He also lists social anxiety and phobia among his focus areas.
Jacob uses a down-to-earth, collaborative style in sessions. He leans on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas and existential approaches without insisting on a single method. That means the conversation looks at what matters to the person, what they are carrying, and practical ways to move toward those values.
Sessions are paced to the individual. Jacob aims to be direct and transparent while letting people set the speed of work. He often supports people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, and those who say earlier therapy did not fit well.
He has experience with stress-related issues, substance use recovery, relationship strain, and the emotional effects of difficult life events. He also lists concerns such as OCD symptoms, process and sex addictions, self-harm, guilt and shame, codependency, isolation, and young adult issues.
In practice Jacob focuses on honest conversation and practical steps. He prioritizes clear communication about goals, what will happen in sessions, and how changes might feel in daily life.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Jacob draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and existential approaches when working with clients. ACT-informed work helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, choose what matters to them, and take small actions that align with their values. Existential approaches focus on meaning, responsibility, and the choices someone can make even when life feels uncertain.Finding the right method is part of the work. Jacob will discuss different ways of working and help decide which approach fits the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and may shift over time as progress and priorities change.
The practical benefits of online therapy are about fitting care into daily life. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Many people find remote sessions easier to schedule around work or school, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can use spoken conversation and exercises that translate well to a virtual setting, which can make steady progress possible even with a busy routine.
