Jookyoung Jackie Faana, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Jookyoung

Jookyoung Jackie Faana is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and low mood. She commonly works with concerns around coping with life changes, relationships, family dynamics, and self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Korean and she practices from Florida.

Jackie aims to make the first step feel manageable. She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they are thinking and feeling.

Background and approach

Her manner is warm and straightforward so a worried parent can talk about real day-to-day problems without extra jargon. Her style draws on several well-established therapies. She uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT to help notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT ideas help people clarify values and keep moving toward them even when emotions are hard. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how Jackie looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape reactions today. She also integrates elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT to teach emotion regulation and mindfulness skills when stress becomes overwhelming.

With 16 years of clinical experience and licensure as an LCSW, Jackie blends talk and skill-building in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients try steps that fit their life. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and more workable daily routines.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choosing actions that match what matters most. It can be useful when life changes feel overwhelming and choices seem unclear.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to see what helps. It’s often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress when practical steps are needed.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jackie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods to emphasize. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful.

Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible for busy families. These options let people check in from home, revisit tools between meetings, and use different formats based on immediate needs and comfort. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and conversations to work across these formats so therapy fits into everyday life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
