About Yong

Yong Pak is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience in Nevada. She brings practical, down-to-earth care to people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and other life challenges. Her work includes helping people navigate parenting struggles, grief, trauma, addiction, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and ADHD.

She began in 2005 providing specialized services to children and families, then broadened her practice to support individuals and couples as well.

Background and approach

Yong uses a client-centered style that focuses on each person’s goals and priorities. She combines that foundation with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy influences her approach to relationship work, especially when people want clearer emotional connection or help resolving recurring cycles.

She also uses solution-focused ideas to set concrete steps and measure progress during shorter-term work. In sessions she listens for patterns that cause pain and then offers simple strategies to change them. That might mean practicing new communication moves, trying a different way to manage stress, or learning mood-management tools.

Her practice aims to tailor methods to each person rather than following a single formula. Clients can expect straightforward feedback and collaborative planning based on their values and everyday needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people and partners identify core emotions and shift interaction patterns that keep them stuck. In practice this means the therapist guides conversations to reveal what people feel and how those feelings shape their behavior, which can improve connection and reduce repeated conflicts.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It often includes short exercises between sessions to practice new ways of thinking and acting for anxiety, depression, or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level, and adapts strategies as progress is made. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to relationship work, mood management, or practical coping skills.

Online formats offer flexible ways to work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for relationship or emotionally focused work. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in or handle quick skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and continue steady progress over time.
