About Yong
Yong Pak is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Nevada with 15 years of experience in mental health care. She began her career providing specialized therapeutic services to children and families and later expanded her work to include individual, couple, and family therapy for the general population.
Background and approach
Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting and family dynamics, anger, self-esteem, and career-related issues.
She favors a client-centered style that adapts evidence-informed methods to each person's needs, drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies alongside emotionally-focused and solution-focused practices. Yong frames therapy as a collaborative process, tailoring interventions to fit the goals and preferences of individuals, couples, and families.
Her approach emphasizes practical skills, emotional awareness, and problem-solving to support meaningful change. Clients seeking a therapist who combines steady clinical experience with flexible, individualized care may find her perspective helpful.
She works in English and holds the credential LCSW, and bases her practice in Nevada.
Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Yong uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often applied to concerns such as anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. She also draws from dialectical behavior therapy when teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for intense emotions and relationship conflicts. In addition, a client-centered orientation informs her online work so the therapist meets people where they are and shapes the pace and focus around each individual's goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and she approaches that choice collaboratively. Together with clients she assesses needs, tries techniques, and adjusts methods over time so that interventions align with personal preferences and the outcomes people want to achieve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide options for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home or while traveling and allow for flexible check-ins, homework support, and paced therapy work that fits into daily life.
