About Jookyoung

LCSW Jookyoung Jackie Faana has 16 years of clinical experience and practices in Florida. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, coping with life changes, relationships, family concerns, and self-esteem. She offers therapy in English and Korean and accepts international clients.

Faana meets people who are dealing with big transitions, persistent worry, low mood, or strains in close relationships. Sessions are practical and conversational. She helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, try new coping skills, and practice small changes between meetings.

Her approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means work often combines noticing thoughts and feelings, learning skills for distress, and exploring how past attachment patterns shape current relationships.

Sessions typically include straightforward tasks: naming a problem, identifying thoughts and behavioral patterns, practicing a skill together, and checking how it felt. She pays attention to caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain challenges, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and loneliness when those come up.

Faana uses a collaborative style. She will help clients set short-term goals and check progress. If a plan isn’t working, she adjusts it and tries different techniques to find what fits the person’s life.

To start, someone would complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches used and what online sessions involve

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions toward them, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Sessions involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing behavior changes to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and will adjust techniques if something isn’t helping. That collaborative process helps shape how sessions proceed and what homework or practice is suggested.

This profile does not specify exact session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone join from different locations or use audio-only options when video is impractical. Talk with the therapist about which arrangement would best fit your schedule and circumstances.
