About Yong

Yong Pak is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Nevada with 15 years in mental health care. She began her career in 2005 and has supported people through many kinds of struggles, including depression and anxiety. Yong offers a steady presence and practical help for everyday problems.

Her background includes early work providing specialized services to children and families, followed by broad practice with individuals and couples. She has experience with bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive concerns, ADHD, addiction, grief, and survivors of emotional and physical trauma. She also addresses relationship and parenting stresses.

Yong uses a client-centered stance as the foundation of her work. She adds tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and manage strong emotions. She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to keep sessions practical and goal oriented.

Sessions are tailored to each person's situation. Yong aims to build a collaborative plan and to teach skills people can use between meetings. She focuses on realistic steps that fit into daily life and on improving communication in relationships.

If someone is ready to start, Yong asks them to share what matters most to them and what they hope to change. She then works with them to set small, achievable goals and to track progress over time.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. The therapist reflects what matters to the client and helps them set goals based on their values and concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease depression and anxiety symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance strategies for people who struggle with intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Yong will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on how well methods fit the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that prioritizes what helps the person make steady progress.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific formats available before booking since formats are not specified in the biography.

They also let therapists share worksheets, exercises, and tools that clients can practice between meetings to reinforce new skills.
