About Jookyoung

Jookyoung Jackie Faana is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She speaks English and Korean and brings 16 years of experience to sessions. Her approach is warm and straightforward so clients can speak honestly about what is hard for them.

She focuses on practical steps alongside deeper conversation. Sessions often include looking at patterns in everyday life, noticing how thoughts and choices affect feelings, and finding small changes that fit a person’s routine.

Background and approach

She also pays attention to relationships and attachment, and how those connections shape behavior and self-esteem. Jackie uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite unhelpful stories they tell about themselves. She combines that with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to build coping skills and clarify values.

The work tends to balance short-term strategies and longer-term meaning-making. Her experience includes supporting people through caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, isolation, and communication problems. Clients also bring issues like guilt, control struggles, and low self-love.

Jackie meets each person where they are and adapts the work to their goals. Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people in Florida and beyond can connect. She aims to make therapy doable for busy lives and to help clients take steady, realistic steps toward feeling more capable.

Online session options

How narrative and values-based methods work online

Jookyoung Jackie Faana uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they tell about themselves and rewrite narratives that cause pain. That work often helps with identity concerns, low self-love, and patterns that repeat in relationships.

She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and building small actions that reflect those values. ACT techniques can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic illness by teaching people how to accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jackie collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and preferences. She adjusts between narrative exploration and concrete skill practice depending on what helps most in the moment.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual cues, while phone calls require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief reflections, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or medical needs.
