About Jookyoung
Jookyoung Jackie Faana is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and difficult life changes. She speaks English and Korean and brings 16 years of experience to conversations that often feel heavy or confusing.

Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with chronic illness or pain and the feelings that come with long-term health challenges. Jackie pays attention to how attachment and early patterns affect current relationships and choices. In sessions she blends practical tools with space for reflection.
That can include cognitive strategies to change unhelpful thinking, skill work to manage emotions, and acceptance-based approaches to live with difficult feelings. She works collaboratively to set goals and pick methods that fit each person’s life and values. Clients can expect clear guidance and a gentle, nonjudgmental tone.
Jackie values small, doable changes that add up over time. Her approach is aimed at helping people feel steadier, more connected to what matters, and better able to handle stressors as they come. Jackie practices in Florida and accepts international clients.
She is licensed as an LCSW in Florida and Nevada and uses a mix of talk, skills coaching, and reflective work to support people through transitions and emotional struggles.
Therapeutic approaches that fit your life, online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It emphasizes clarifying values and taking small actions that lead to a more meaningful life, which can help with anxiety and life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections. This approach can help people understand recurring relationship struggles, communication problems, and feelings of isolation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed protocol.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations from different locations. Phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into a busy day or to keep a conversation going between sessions. These options help people maintain consistency while fitting therapy into everyday life.
