About Sandee
Sandee Young is a licensed clinical social worker with 21 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with clients who are navigating career issues, relationship problems, trauma, eating or sleeping difficulties, and major life changes. Sandee emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care while tailoring sessions to each person's needs.
Sandee has worked with LGBTQ+ clients across her career and brings that experience into sessions when it is relevant. She adapts conversations and treatment plans to match individual goals instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals that the client and therapist develop together.
Her background includes two decades of clinical practice in Idaho and neighboring regions, supporting people through mood disorders, bipolar concerns, and coping with caregiver or end-of-life stress. She also helps people who are managing compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and social anxiety so they can find steadier routines and better daily functioning.
Sandee aims to make the first reach-out feel manageable. She listens to immediate concerns, identifies achievable short-term goals, and works toward longer term growth at the client’s pace. The focus is on realistic strategies that fit daily life rather than abstract theory.
People who connect with Sandee can expect a collaborative relationship that centers their values and priorities. She supports clients through the practical work of change, from improving sleep and daily routines to rebuilding confidence and coping skills.
How evidence-based approaches guide remote care
Sandee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at practical change. One common approach is structured problem-solving and skills work, which breaks down stressful issues into manageable steps and builds concrete habits for sleep, mood, and daily routine. This helps when anxiety, depression, or sleep disruptions make everyday tasks harder.Another frequently applied method focuses on emotion-focused work and grief processing, which helps people name difficult feelings and find ways to carry on after loss or major life change. That approach supports rebuilding self-esteem and coping skills after setbacks.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to current problems, goals, and preferences, and then try one or more methods while checking in about what feels helpful. Adjustments are made together so the work fits each person's pace and priorities.
If you are considering online care, confirm available session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people keep continuity of care when life or location changes, while the therapist and client work together to find approaches that fit daily life.
