Getting to know Caroline Youngkrantz

She has 20 years of experience working with children and parents, building upon a strong foundation in childcare. In 2019, Caroline transitioned from her childcare career to pursue a Master of Social Work degree at Augsburg University, where she completed an intensive dual focus in Multicultural Clinical Practice and Alcohol and Drug Counseling. Her work experience in nannying, childcare centers, youth group homes, and parenting allows Caroline to better tailor clinical interventions to clients, acknowledging the complexities of their daily lives. She possesses a comprehensive understanding of the challenges families face when navigating systems such as healthcare, education, childcare, and the courts. Caroline’s clinical practice utilizes the framework of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), integrating her knowledge of cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. ACT emphasizes mindfulness and psychological flexibility to help individuals make choices aligned with their core values, rather than reacting solely to difficult emotions. This approach is highly effective for a range of diagnoses that Caroline treats, including ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, OCD, learning disorders, life adjustment issues, anxiety disorders, and developmental trauma. Caroline offers remote therapy services to adults, families, parents, and children over the age of 6. When working remotely with younger children and families, she typically dedicates significant time to collaborating with parents on strategies to best support their children at home. This collaborative approach recognizes that parents and families provide daily care, while therapy sessions are typically limited to one hour per week. Her approach is straightforward, non-judgmental, compassionate, and often includes humor. She values partnering with clients to identify strategies that reduce suffering and enhance their overall quality of life.
