About Jacob
Jacob Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with four years of clinical experience. He works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, addictions, bipolar mood patterns, compassion fatigue, and stress. Jacob also focuses on life purpose, loneliness, codependency, and young adult issues.
Jacob follows practical, evidence-based methods influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and existential approaches. Sessions concentrate on what someone is carrying, what matters to them, and how to move forward in ways that align with personal values. He emphasizes honest conversation and steady pacing rather than quick fixes.
In the room he is engaged and direct. People can expect clear, respectful feedback and collaborative decision-making about next steps. Jacob often helps when previous therapy felt off or when someone isn’t sure what direction to take after changes in work, relationships, or health.
He has experience supporting people through substance use challenges, process addictions, and the emotional fallout of difficult life events. Jacob also addresses mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive concerns, impulsivity, guilt, shame, and self-harm related struggles.
For someone feeling stuck or unsure about purpose, sessions focus on identifying values, testing small behavioral shifts, and building routines that reflect what matters. The approach aims to be steady and practical so people can try ideas between sessions and see what fits.

How ACT and existential work translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. In practice this means identifying what matters, trying small experiments, and building habits that reflect those values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and problems that involve avoidance or unhelpful thinking.Existential approaches look at meaning, responsibility, and the practical choices someone can make in their life. Sessions often involve talking through what matters now, weighing options, and deciding on small, concrete steps to reduce feeling stuck. This can be useful after major life changes or when someone questions purpose.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacob will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adjusting pace, trying different exercises, and checking what helps between sessions.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer flexibility for people managing work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can use that flexibility to help people try value-based actions and practical strategies in daily life.
