About Jookyoung

Jookyoung Jackie Faana is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and self esteem concerns. She uses clear, practical conversation to help people make sense of hard feelings and find manageable next steps. Sessions are offered in English and Korean for people in Florida and for international clients.

Jackie brings 16 years of experience to each meeting. She focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most to them. The goal is to help people slow down, notice patterns, and try new ways of coping that fit their life.

Her work draws on several approaches including cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment perspectives, attachment-focused thinking, client-centered listening, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She uses those tools to address mood problems, communication struggles, caregiver stress, and feelings of isolation or guilt.

People who come for help often want practical ways to manage symptoms and rebuild self-worth. Jackie helps people practice small changes that add up over time, such as shifting unhelpful thoughts, strengthening relationships, and improving daily routines. She also supports those adjusting to chronic illness or caregiving roles.

Taking the first step can feel hard. Jackie guides people through that beginning by asking about their goals, offering straightforward techniques, and working together to find what helps. To start, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward chosen values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and doubts about self worth by teaching ways to act that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by giving clear steps people can practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions, which can be helpful for communication problems, relationship strain, and issues around trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the person's needs. This collaborative process often blends techniques so they match what the client wants to achieve.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, or check in during a shorter break from work. It can also allow for continuity when someone is traveling or living abroad. Licensed professionals and therapists adapt exercises and homework so people can practice skills in their everyday environments.
