About Newell
Newell Young is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with 25 years of clinical experience. He has worked in crisis teams, day treatment programs, and hospitals, and offers individual and group psychotherapy. He commonly helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, depression, grief, and parenting challenges.
He adapts his style to what a person needs. He can offer practical feedback and concrete strategies when a problem-solving approach is wanted. He also uses mindfulness and spiritual approaches for those open to them.
Across many settings, he has used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and existential perspectives. His background includes work in hospital settings and crisis care, so he is familiar with early alliance building and brief intervention when situations are urgent.
Sessions focus on clear, direct collaboration. People can expect both skill-based work and reflective discussion about values and meaning. He often blends behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to manage anger, rumination, or reactivity.
Newell aims to connect quickly and to be practical in sessions. He supports people who want to reduce snapping at loved ones, manage workplace frustration, handle built-up resentment, or respond differently to someone else’s anger.

How sessions work
How his approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take concrete steps toward those values, even when strong emotions are present. It is useful for chronic anger, avoidance, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical behavioral experiments to reduce reactivity and mood symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal responses, which can help when high stress or strong anger arises.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their goals, preferences, and everyday demands. That means leaning into skill training when you need practical tools and using reflective or existential work when questions of meaning come up.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and skill practice to the online setting so sessions remain focused and actionable.
