About Barnetta
Barnetta Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
She describes working with people who feel stuck by patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or living around another person's moods or drinking. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage upsetting feelings and on clearer communication in relationships. Barnetta pays attention to cultural background and identity as part of that work.
Her style draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, workable goals that can change day-to-day life.
In sessions she helps clients develop coping strategies for mood problems, sleep and eating disruptions, and stress tied to caregiving or midlife change. She also supports people working through separation, domestic violence histories, and substance-related issues. Barnetta includes discussions about attachment and abandonment when those themes come up.
Her approach is direct and practical. She works with people to try new ways of communicating, set boundaries, and reduce the daily load of worry or responsibility. People are asked to try techniques between sessions and then review what helps.
How sessions work
How Barnetta uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client, helping people feel heard and clarifying their goals. It can be useful for relational strain, identity questions, and emotional overwhelm.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete steps to interrupt negative thinking and change unhelpful behaviors, which can help with anxiety, mood problems, and sleep or eating concerns.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable changes. Sessions set short-term goals and track what works, which is useful for people who want quick, practical improvements in daily life.
Choosing an approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist and client will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit. They will review what helps and adjust the plan as they go.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It also lets people do brief check-ins, avoid commutes, or use fewer tools when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and goal tracking for remote meetings to keep progress moving forward.
