About Barnetta
Barnetta Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, relationship and family problems, grief, and anger. Sessions address issues related to intimacy, self-esteem, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and LGBT and multicultural concerns.
Her work is straightforward and person-focused. She listens to current challenges and helps people set practical goals. Conversations include looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active and trying small changes to see what helps.
Barnetta uses Client-Centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in the client's priorities. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice different responses. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to build on what already works and set clear next steps.
Over her career she has supported people dealing with trauma, attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and caregiver stress. She has also worked with those coping with divorce, domestic violence, substance use, and disaster-related distress. Her background includes helping people navigate workplace stress and social isolation.
In sessions she will work with clients to create measurable, realistic steps for change. The emphasis is on usable skills and clearer communication with others. Many clients focus on managing anger and reducing its impact in daily life by learning new coping strategies and communication approaches.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's concerns and priorities. In practice this means the conversation guides each session and the therapist follows the client’s lead to set goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT uses short exercises and practice between sessions to change responses to stress, anxiety, and anger. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what is already working and builds small, practical changes into daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean using more CBT exercises at first, then shifting to solution-focused planning once a few small wins appear. The plan is adjusted based on what the client finds helpful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it simpler to continue work on skills between sessions and to bring real-life situations into conversation without a commute.
