Jookyoung Jackie Faana, LCSW

Jookyoung Jackie Faana is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She welcomes conversations about relationship strain, self-esteem, and the strain of life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Korean to meet a range of communication needs.

Faana focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that feed worry and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools help people clarify values and take steps toward what matters to them.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She creates space for people to talk through strong emotions without judgment. The aim is to make progress in small, steady steps that fit everyday life.

Faana brings 16 years of experience as an LCSW practicing in Florida and Nevada. That background informs how she supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, mood disorders, and feelings of isolation. She pays attention to attachment issues and communication problems that often underpin relationship difficulties.

Practical concerns like guilt, control issues, and low self-love are also addressed with concrete strategies. Therapy may include emotion regulation skills, behavior experiments, and values-based action plans. The approach is collaborative and adapted to each person's goals.

For people who prefer remote care, she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jookyoung Jackie Faana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and experiments to test beliefs and reduce anxiety or low mood.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action that reflects personal values. ACT can be useful for people who want to move toward meaningful goals despite ongoing stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls are good for full conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, between-session support, or when written reflection feels most helpful.

These online options make it easier to keep continuity during life changes and to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical needs. The focus stays on practical tools and steady progress, whether meeting by video, phone, chat, or text.
