About Sean

Sean Young is a Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW, practicing in Michigan with 28 years of experience. He works with people who bring stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and related problems.

Sean offers individual and relationship-focused support using clear, direct conversation. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and on practical steps a person can try between meetings. He emphasizes respectful, straightforward dialogue and helps people sort through feelings and options.

Many clients come with problems tied to attachment, abandonment, or past hurt. Sean also has experience with issues such as communication problems, control struggles, and coping with major life changes. He listens for patterns that keep repeating and helps people notice small shifts they can make.

When trauma or loss is part of the picture, he works to identify ways to reduce overwhelming reactions and rebuild daily routines. He also supports people facing shame, guilt, or the effects of domestic violence and other painful experiences. Sessions look at both feelings and behavior to find manageable steps forward.

Sean draws on a mix of well-known approaches to guide his work. He usually explains methods in simple terms during the first meetings and checks in often to see what is and isn’t helping. People who prefer direct, practical talk tend to find his style a good fit.

How his approaches translate to online work

Sean uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) often in sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping a person make their own choices, which helps when sorting feelings about social situations. CBT looks at thoughts and actions together and teaches specific skills to test and change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety or repeated behavior patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sean will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and they will decide together which methods to try. He checks in regularly to adjust the plan based on what feels most useful for the client.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. For some people, phone meetings use less bandwidth and feel simpler, while video can allow clearer nonverbal cues. Discuss format preferences early so sessions match everyday needs and routines.
