About Barnetta
Barnetta Young is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
She uses straightforward, practical conversations to identify what feels most urgent. Sessions often focus on specific thoughts, behaviors, and routines that keep problems going. Barnetta draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thinking and try small changes that can alter mood and behavior.
Her approach is also client-centered, meaning she listens for each person’s goals and preferences. Solution-focused methods are used to pick attainable next steps and track progress between meetings. The result is a session that aims to be problem-focused and goal-oriented rather than abstract.
She has substantial experience working with multicultural concerns and situations related to workplace stress and social isolation. Barnetta also addresses issues like attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication problems, caregiver stress, and substance concerns in practical ways.
People meet her to get clear strategies for coping, better emotion regulation, and more workable habits day to day. To begin, she asks about current challenges, what has been tried, and what a helpful next step would look like.
How Barnetta applies CBT and client-centered work online
Barnetta combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and solution-focused methods. CBT helps by identifying negative thought patterns and testing small behavioral experiments to change mood or habit. Client-centered work focuses on listening to the person's priorities and shaping sessions around what they want to address. Solution-focused methods break goals into concrete next steps to try between meetings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will review your goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together you decide which methods to emphasize and which small, measurable steps to try first so progress can be tracked and adjusted.

Barnetta aims to help clients use practical strategies and clear actions that fit everyday life, whether that means regular hour sessions or brief progress check-ins depending on the format you choose.
