About Sandee
Sandee Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 21 years of professional experience. She practices in Idaho and lists work with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns among her areas of focus. She also notes experience supporting LGBTQ+ people and identifies social anxiety and phobia as one of her additional focus areas.
She approaches sessions as straightforward conversations. She listens to what is most pressing and helps people break problems into manageable steps. Sessions aim to build practical coping skills and clearer ways to handle upsetting thoughts or difficult social situations.
Sandee adapts how she works based on each person's needs. That can mean focusing on mood and self-esteem, talking through relationship patterns, or developing routines to improve sleep and daily functioning. She also addresses life transitions, caregiver stress, and end-of-life worries when they come up.
Her career includes work with people experiencing trauma, bipolar mood concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue. She notes experience with aging and geriatric issues, intellectual disability, and family of origin problems. Those topics are handled with attention to the practical impacts on daily life.
When someone reaches out, Sandee begins by asking about goals and current struggles. From there she and the client agree on a plan that may include skill-building, coping strategies, and regular check-ins. Language of sessions is English and she is based in Idaho.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Sandee works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach involves teaching coping strategies for anxiety - skills to manage intense feelings, reduce avoidance, and build confidence in social situations. Another approach centers on mood and behavioral activation - identifying small, achievable actions to improve routine, sleep, and energy, which can help with low mood and depression.Choosing how to work together is collaborative. The therapist and client will discuss current goals, what has helped before, and which methods feel most useful. That shared planning helps shape each session and any homework or practice between meetings.
In many cases online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. They can reduce travel time and allow scheduling during a work break or between other responsibilities. Because the original biography did not list specific session formats, confirm the current session options before booking. A therapist will review the available online formats and help pick what fits the client's needs and schedule.
