About Jookyoung
Jookyoung Jackie Faana welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and big life changes. Her style is steady and straightforward, aimed at helping clients find clearer paths through hard moments.
Clients can expect a calm space to talk through what matters most. She listens closely and helps people sort priorities, set small goals, and try practical steps that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on what will make a difference between meetings. Jackie draws from several well-known approaches to match what each person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Attachment-based ideas help when early patterns shape current relationships and self-worth. Dialectical skills offer tools for strong emotions and stress management.
Across methods, she keeps the client at the center and adapts the plan as progress happens. Jackie has 16 years of clinical experience and works with adults in Florida. She offers services in English and Korean and is available to work with international clients.
Her practical, supportive approach is aimed at helping people regain balance and move toward goals they choose.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being led by them. It focuses on what matters most and builds small, consistent actions toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or low mood and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns and behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape how people connect now, helping to shift patterns that cause repeated upset.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as different strategies are tested and adjusted.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and have longer conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
