About Yong
Yong Pak is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Nevada with 15 years of experience in the mental health field.
Background and approach
She began her career delivering targeted therapeutic services to children and families and later expanded her work to offer individual, couple, and family therapy for a broader population. Over the years she has developed experience helping people navigate depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, addictions, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges.
Her approach centers on the client, tailoring interventions to each person, couple, or family's needs. Yong integrates elements from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), solution-focused methods, and mindfulness to create practical, goal-oriented plans.
She emphasizes collaboration, helping clients explore patterns, build coping skills, and strengthen relationships. Yong aims to provide a supportive, individualized path for those ready to address life changes, manage symptoms, or repair relational patterns.
She frames therapy as a cooperative process that draws on her clinical training and real-world experience to help clients pursue greater emotional balance and more satisfying connections.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Yong commonly draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when working with clients. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a collaborative, empathetic relationship where the client's goals guide the process and the therapist offers reflective support to help people explore their thoughts and feelings. CBT provides structured strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. DBT emphasizes skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, making it helpful for intense emotional reactions and relationship difficulties.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then tailor interventions accordingly. That partnership helps determine whether more skills-based work, emotion-focused exploration, or a blended plan will best support progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access support from different locations and at varied times. These formats can make it easier to integrate therapeutic work into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and try interventions in real-world contexts while staying connected with a licensed professional.
