About Yong
Yong Pak is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience based in Nevada. She brings a straightforward, practical style to therapy and focuses on helping people manage strong emotions, rebuild relationships, and cope with life changes.
She worked in mental health beginning in 2005, first providing therapeutic services involving children and family concerns and later broadening to individual and couple work with the general population. Over time she has helped people facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, addiction concerns, grief, trauma, and anger-related difficulties.
Background and approach
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses client-centered methods and borrows techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to fit each person’s needs. Sessions are practical and focused on skills people can try between appointments.
Yong also uses elements of emotionally-focused and solution-focused work when relationships or specific goals are involved. She emphasizes clear, manageable steps so progress feels tangible and understandable. People who do best with her tend to want a collaborative, results-oriented style.
She helps set goals, teaches tools for managing distress, and checks in on how things are going. Her Nevada license (LCSW) reflects her professional standing in the state.

How Yong’s Methods Translate to Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, validation, and tailoring sessions to each person. This approach helps people feel heard and sets the pace for work on emotions, relationships, or behavior. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thought and action, teaching concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, anger, and other symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions, which can be useful when emotions run high.Picking the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and try different techniques as needed. Together they will decide whether to emphasize skills training, emotion-focused work, or short-term solution-focused strategies based on what helps most.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of skills. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, written exercises, or when someone prefers non-verbal communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep working on goals between meetings.
