About Jacob
Jacob Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with four years of clinical experience. He works with adults managing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and addictions. He also supports people dealing with codependency, loneliness, life purpose questions, and the emotional fallout of difficult life events.
His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and existential ideas. Sessions focus on clarifying values, noticing what someone is carrying, and finding practical steps that match what matters to them. He emphasizes collaboration and straightforward conversation rather than quick fixes or lengthy theory talks.
Jacob often meets people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. He also has experience with substance use recovery, process addictions, mood disorders, and obsessive or impulsive patterns. In practical terms this can mean working on boundaries, managing urges, reducing avoidance, and rebuilding daily habits.
In session he tends to be engaged and direct while respecting a person's pace. Conversations include checking what has helped before, naming patterns that get in the way, and trying small experiments between meetings. Progress is measured in concrete changes people can notice in day-to-day life.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location.
How sessions work
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, codependency concerns, and persistent patterns that keep someone stuck. Existential approaches focus on meaning, responsibility, and making choices that fit a person's life; they can help with questions about direction, identity, and dealing with unavoidable difficulties.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Jacob approaches this collaboratively and will help clients decide which methods to try based on their goals and what feels doable. He checks in about what is or isn’t working and adjusts plans so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use video when they want face-to-face interaction or choose audio for lower bandwidth or a briefer session. Licensed professionals can help match a format to your day-to-day needs.
