    About Jookyoung

    Jookyoung Jackie Faana is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She aims to make the first step easier by listening and offering steady, practical support. Sessions are offered in English and Korean and she accepts international clients.

    Jackie focuses on everyday struggles like coping with life changes, relationship and family concerns, and low self-esteem. She also works with people dealing with chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, loneliness, and problems with communication or control. Her approach centers on understanding what matters to each person and finding small, doable changes.

    Her practice draws on several therapy styles, including Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In session she listens first, then helps people set clear goals and try practical steps that fit their life. The work is collaborative and paced to what the person can manage.

    With 16 years of experience, Jackie brings steady clinical experience without judgment. She describes the room as a place to talk through hard feelings and to experiment with new ways of coping. She helps people notice what matters most to them and take small steps toward that life.

  2. How therapy approaches translate to online care

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own reasons for change and builds motivation through respectful conversation, which can help with moving past stuck points. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating and can help with communication problems, trust, and self-worth.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and practical needs, then suggest approaches to try. Sessions are collaborative - methods can be adjusted as the work unfolds to better fit what’s helping and what feels manageable.

    The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting care into a busy life easier by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering sessions across time zones for international clients. It also lets people choose setups that suit them better - for example, audio-only check-ins when video would be difficult, or longer sessions when a deeper conversation is needed.
