About Jacob

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with four years of clinical experience, Jacob Young helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction issues, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue. He works with teens and adults on identity questions, major life transitions, and emotional problems that make daily life harder. Sessions are described as collaborative and down-to-earth rather than directive or rushed.

Jacob’s practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and existential approaches. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person, what they are carrying, and how to move forward in ways that match their values. He aims to reduce suffering through clear, honest discussion rather than judgment.

People who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected may find his approach useful. He also has experience supporting those facing chronic stress, relationship strain, recovery from substance use, and other difficult life events. He notes that some clients come after prior therapy didn’t feel like the right fit.

In sessions, Jacob is engaged and transparent and respects each person’s pace. He avoids one-size-fits-all models and prefers to work with each person to find practical steps that feel livable. Conversations cover immediate coping, longer-term goals, and how values shape choices.

He practices in Louisiana and offers services in English. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How ACT and Existential Work Translate to Remote Sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It uses values-focused exercises to guide practical behavior change and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns.

Existential approaches center on meaning, responsibility, and the choices people make. These conversations look at what matters most and how to act in ways that align with those priorities, which can help with life transitions and feeling disconnected.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to try approaches, see what helps, and adjust methods based on goals and preferences. That shared planning is part of early sessions.

The original biography did not specify session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a weekday routine, allow simpler check-ins that don’t require travel, and offer options that use less bandwidth or shorter time blocks when needed. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to focus on skills practice, values-based planning, and steady progress without requiring frequent in-person visits.
