About Sandee
LCSW in Idaho with 21 years of clinical experience, Sandee Young helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and depression. She has worked with LGBTQ+ clients and supports people facing relationship and family concerns. She also addresses issues such as eating and sleeping difficulties, career stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Sandee emphasizes straightforward conversation and practical planning. She adapts session talk and treatment plans to each person’s situation. Sessions focus on clear goals, manageable steps, and problem-solving strategies that fit day-to-day life.
Her background includes two decades of work across clinical settings where she supported people through bereavement, caregiving strain, and end-of-life decisions. She has also worked with people dealing with mood disorders, seasonal affective disorder, and social anxiety. That range informs a pragmatic approach to assessment and care.
In sessions she listens for what is working and what needs to change. Then she and the client set short-term targets and review progress regularly. The method is practical rather than theoretical, aimed at reducing immediate distress and building coping skills.
Sandee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to the issue at hand. She explains options plainly and involves clients in choosing what to try. People who value direct talk and stepwise plans will find a clear, steady style.

How evidence-based methods translate to remote care
Sandee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and clear goals. Cognitive-oriented approaches help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop alternative responses to anxiety and low mood. Behavioral strategies focus on small, doable actions such as sleep routines, activity scheduling, and step-by-step exposure for social anxiety.She also integrates grief-focused methods that allow space to name losses, track emotional shifts, and build coping routines after bereavement. These approaches aim to reduce immediate distress while building longer-term resilience through repeated practice.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit the situation. Progress is checked regularly and plans are adjusted when something is not helping.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm available formats before booking so you know whether sessions are video, phone, or another option. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people continue care across moves within the same licensing constraints.
