About Jookyoung
Jookyoung Jackie Faana is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 16 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the challenges of life changes. She also supports concerns around relationships, family issues, and self-esteem, including feelings of guilt and shame.
Jackie keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She listens to what matters most and helps people name the patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking so daily life feels more manageable.
Her approach draws from several established methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without getting swept away. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy gets used to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Attachment-Based ideas and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques guide work when relationships, emotion regulation, or intense reactions are central.
Jackie also practices client-centered therapy, which keeps the person’s concerns and goals at the center of each session. She works with caregivers and people facing chronic illness or disability, and she addresses isolation and control issues. Sessions are offered in English and Korean.
People who contact her typically begin by describing a current struggle. From there she helps set modest, concrete steps to test changes and track what helps. The focus is on steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings. This can be useful when guilt or shame keep someone from acting in line with their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, which often suits people who want direct strategies to reduce anxious or low mood patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can shift as you learn what helps more in everyday life.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They are also useful when someone wants to work from a quieter location, use less bandwidth with audio-only options, or schedule therapy around caregiving and work responsibilities.
