About Saundrea

Saundrea Young is a licensed clinical social worker in California with more than 40 years of professional clinical experience. She brings long-standing expertise to supporting people through stress and anxiety that arise from life transitions, medical diagnoses and treatments, and the process of grief and loss. As an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - she combines practical clinical skill with a person-centered approach to address each client’s needs.

Saundrea has developed particular know-how in aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver challenges, and the emotional and practical effects of chronic illness and pain. She adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each individual’s situation, focusing on clear, compassionate guidance rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Her work emphasizes respectful, unbiased care and a sensitivity to the unique circumstances clients bring to therapy.

Saundrea acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage and insight, and she views it as a privilege to support people as they explore and strengthen their inner resources. Her practice centers on helping clients identify their strengths, develop coping strategies, and move forward with greater resilience and clarity.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening-focused relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead to explore feelings, values, and goals. This approach is often helpful for people facing life transitions, grief, caregiver stress, or the emotional impacts of aging because it creates space to be heard and understood.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and learning practical strategies to shift them. CBT can be effective for managing stress and anxiety, coping with medical diagnoses, and addressing challenges like body image or chronic pain-related distress through skill-building and problem solving.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Saundrea works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people juggling caregiving, health concerns, or busy schedules. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or between commitments, helping clients maintain continuity of care and apply therapeutic skills in daily life.
