About
Jacob Young, LPC, is a licensed counselor based in Louisiana who works with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity concerns, and major life transitions. His practice also addresses stress, addictions, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue, with attention to issues such as isolation, impulsivity, and relationship patterns.
His clinical perspective is informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and existential approaches. Rather than centering on quick fixes, he focuses on helping people identify what they carry, clarify what matters, and take steps that align with their values while making space for honesty and compassion.
Jacob uses a collaborative, down-to-earth stance in sessions and aims to be engaged, transparent, and respectful of each person’s pace. He works with individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, including those who have tried therapy before and felt it did not fit. He welcomes contact from anyone seeking a thoughtful, human-centered approach to difficult life experiences.

Remote sessions guided by ACT and existential inquiry
Jacob offers online care using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options are available for teens and adults working through anxiety, depression, substance use recovery, life transitions, and related concerns. The format supports regular check-ins, paced exploration, and practical planning between meetings.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to help people notice patterns that limit action and to clarify values that can direct meaningful next steps. Existential approaches invite exploration of meaning, responsibility, and how to respond to life’s unavoidable difficulties. Together these perspectives emphasize understanding what matters and making choices that reflect those priorities.
Jacob seeks a collaborative fit: he engages directly, honors each person’s tempo, and aims to build a working approach that feels livable. Prospective participants can select the communication modes that suit their needs and discuss how those tools will shape the therapeutic work.
