About Yong
Yong Pak is a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years in the mental health field. She practices in Nevada and draws on long experience helping adults address common life stresses and relationship strains. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth for parents and caregivers seeking clearer routines and calmer family interactions.
Early in her career she provided specialized therapeutic services to children and families and later expanded to work with individuals and couples.
Background and approach
She has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and attention-deficit challenges. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, substance issues, and difficulties with intimacy or anger. In sessions she centers the client's goals and adapts methods to fit each situation.
She uses client-centered techniques alongside cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior strategies. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are used when a clear, moment-to-moment plan helps move things forward. For parents she focuses on practical steps for managing stress, improving communication, and creating predictable routines.
She talks through parenting challenges and relationship patterns in ways that feel useful and doable. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Yong emphasizes collaboration; she and the person seeking help set priorities together.
Sessions mix problem-solving, skill practice, and time to process feelings so people leave with tools they can use at home.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy puts your goals first and focuses on understanding your experience. Online sessions let the therapist listen closely and reflect back what matters to you so goals are clear and relevant.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them. Delivered over video or phone, CBT sessions include homework and skill practice that can be reviewed between meetings using text or live chat.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills. These tools can be practiced in short coaching-style messages or reviewed during longer video sessions when stronger skills are needed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on goals, current challenges, and what feels most useful. That plan can change over time as progress is made.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you read facial cues and do longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text let you check in between appointments, practice skills, or share quick updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule or a variable routine.
