About Diseree
Diseree Young is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with four decades of clinical experience. She offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and changes in life direction. Her manner is warm and interactive, aimed at helping clients feel heard and understood from the first session.
She uses Existential therapy to help people wrestle with meaning, choice, and responsibility when life feels uncertain. That work pairs with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide practical steps toward values-based living.
Background and approach
Diseree also draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to shape sessions around each person’s needs. Sessions focus on clear, doable goals. Clients talk through current problems, learn new skills to manage difficult thoughts and emotions, and practice small changes between appointments.
The pace is collaborative; the therapist and client decide which strategies to try next. Diseree has supported people with a wide range of concerns over her career, including addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, eating and sleeping issues, ADHD, and career challenges. She also addresses more specific issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image concerns.
Based in Michigan, she conducts sessions in English using video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Her approach aims to meet people where they are and build practical ways to move forward one step at a time.

Online support
How existential and action-oriented therapies work online
Existential therapy helps people name what matters most and face the hard choices life brings. Online sessions can use this approach to talk about values, meaning, and the changes a person wants to make. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) blends acceptance of difficult feelings with clear steps toward valued goals; it teaches practical exercises that clients can practice between meetings to build more meaningful routines.Discussions in sessions are collaborative. The therapist will listen to what matters to the client, review possible approaches, and together decide which methods to try. That may mean working with existential questions one week and practicing ACT skills the next, or adding client-centered conversation and cognitive-behavioral techniques when helpful.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer flexible, written check-ins and skill reminders between appointments. These options help people keep momentum while working around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints.
