About Jookyoung
Jookyoung Jackie Faana is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 16 years of experience based in Florida. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Korean and she accepts international clients.
Faana uses clear, practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support people who feel stuck by worry, low mood, or big life changes. She also incorporates attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening to help clients understand their patterns with others.
In a typical meeting she helps clients name specific thinking patterns and behavior cycles. Then she suggests small experiments and new ways of responding to test what works. She also helps people manage emotions and distress with DBT-informed skills when needed.
Her approach is straightforward and paced to the person. Practical tools, short exercises, and focused reflections are used alongside conversation. Sessions aim to produce usable steps people can try between meetings.
Faana’s background in social work informs how she addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, control issues, guilt, and isolation. She meets clients where they are and helps them set realistic goals for daily life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Jookyoung Jackie Faana commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to break negative cycles, which helps with anxiety and low mood. ACT emphasizes values-based action and learning to notice difficult feelings so they have less control over choices, which suits people facing life changes or persistent stress.Decisions about which approach to use are collaborative. She will review your concerns and goals, and then suggest methods to try. Clients often mix techniques from CBT, ACT, attachment-based ideas, and DBT skills to match what they need in the moment.
