Dr. Danielle Young

Danielle Young, PhD, LCSW

I’m Danielle Young, a doctoral-level clinician and licensed clinical social worker based in Goldsboro, NC, offering both in-person and secure virtual therapy. I work collaboratively with adults and couples who are ready to move from surviving to living with greater clarity, connection, and emotional balance. My approach is warm, direct, and rooted in evidence-based practices tailored to each person’s needs and pace.

If you’re seeking a therapist who balances empathy with clear, action-oriented steps, we may be a good fit. I welcome clients who value authenticity, curiosity, and a commitment to personal growth.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in cycles of low mood, or carrying the weight of past trauma. Others seek help when relationship patterns feel repeatedly painful or communication has broken down. I combine practical skills (for managing symptoms and building emotional regulation) with deeper relational and trauma-informed work to address both immediate relief and long-term change.

My sessions are collaborative: we clarify your goals, learn skills to reduce distress, and explore underlying patterns that maintain suffering. I draw from cognitive-behavioral strategies, trauma-informed interventions, attachment- and emotion-focused frameworks, and mindfulness-based practices. I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where your experience is heard, validated, and honored.
