About Jookyoung

Jookyoung Jackie Faana is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, and the stress of life changes. She keeps conversations straightforward and practical so clients can focus on one step at a time. Sessions are aimed at making day-to-day coping feel more manageable rather than overwhelming.

With 16 years of experience, she draws from approaches that center relationships and present concerns. Attachment-based ideas guide work around how early bonds affect current emotions and behavior.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are used to sort out unhelpful thinking and to build values-driven actions. Her style is warm and person-focused. Client-Centered Therapy informs how she listens and responds, creating space for people to name feelings and priorities.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced when emotion regulation and distress tolerance tools are needed. Faana works with adults who want clearer communication, less self-criticism, and stronger coping during illness, caregiving, or isolation. She also helps people dealing with attachment issues, control struggles, guilt, and chronic pain-related stress.

Sessions are available in English and Korean and are offered in formats that fit modern life. She accepts international clients and brings a steady, practical approach to change. People seeking a calm, collaborative therapist will find a straightforward path to small, sustainable shifts in how they handle everyday pressures and relationships.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care you can use

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current feelings and responses. It can help people who notice repeated patterns in close connections or who struggle with trust and emotional closeness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values rather than getting stuck trying to control every thought. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and making meaningful changes.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily challenges, and preferences, and then suggest approaches that fit. Clients and therapist adjust methods over time so the plan stays practical and responsive to what actually helps.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and reading body language, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging let people pause and reply on their own schedule or keep a brief thread between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent amid busy lives and caregiving responsibilities.
