Yong Pak , LCSW

Yong S. Pak is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Las Vegas, Nevada. She has worked in the mental health field since 2005, beginning with specialized therapeutic services for children and families and later expanding to provide individual, couple, and family therapy for a broader population. Yong has treated mood and anxiety disorders including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and ADHD, and she brings experience addressing relationship and family conflict, parent-child dynamics, grief and loss, and recovery after emotional and physical trauma.

Her clinical approach centers on the client - tailoring interventions to each person, couple, or family rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. She integrates techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, along with mindfulness and solution-focused strategies, to support symptom reduction, improved coping, and clearer communication. Yong draws on her training and years of practice to create individualized treatment plans that reflect clients' goals and strengths.

Having chosen to seek help, individuals and families may find in Yong a steady, experienced collaborator who aims to guide and support them through difficult transitions and toward greater emotional balance and relational satisfaction.

Approaches Used in Online Therapy with Yong Pak

Yong Pak draws on client-centered therapy to place the person's own goals, values, and strengths at the center of treatment - this approach helps people feel heard and guides sessions by what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and coping under pressure.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Yong works with each person or family to assess needs, try strategies, and adjust the treatment plan so the methods fit the client's goals and preferences rather than expecting clients to fit a single model.

Online sessions via video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver meaningful therapeutic work through these formats, offering flexibility in scheduling and multiple ways to stay connected between sessions.
