Hi, I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky, working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and substance use. I know reaching out for therapy takes real courage, and my goal is to make our first conversation feel grounded and easy. When I'm not in session I'm usually writing, hiking, or keeping up with my grandkids — I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine human conversation, not a script. If you're looking for a warm, non-judgmental space to work through what's weighing on you.

Angela Young

Angela Young

Therapist

Virtual • Kentucky


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with over 7 years of experience helping people navigate life when it feels messy, overwhelming, or just plain stuck. I earned my Master’s in Social Work and have spent my career walking alongside individuals as they find hope, healing, and a way forward through some of life’s toughest seasons.

I work with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, sleep struggles, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I also have a strong background in supporting people in early recovery from substance use helping them build coping skills, stay grounded, and create real, sustainable change (not just quick fixes).

Outside of session, I practice what I preach: I focus on my own growth, stay active, and try to keep life in perspective which means I get the ups and downs that come with being human. I know starting therapy can feel intimidating, and I genuinely respect the courage it takes to show up. If you’re ready to do the work, I’m here to walk with you, challenge you when needed, and cheer you on as you build the life you deserve.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Kentucky

Searching for therapists in Kentucky starts with finding someone whose training and experience match what you want support with. Across the state, therapy needs and available therapists can vary between urban and rural areas, so it helps to narrow your search by concern, specialty, and care style. You might look for a therapist who works with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Location and format also matter when comparing Kentucky therapists. If you live near Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, or a smaller community, you may want to decide whether in-person sessions, virtual sessions, or a mix of both fits your schedule best. You can also compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before you book can help you understand how a therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.

The cost of mental health care in Kentucky varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process clearer by letting you enter your insurance details, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and find therapists who match your preferences. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your location and plan as you search. Browse therapists in Kentucky, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
