About Yong
LCSW in Nevada with 15 years of experience, Yong Pak focuses on depression, anxiety, relationships, and trauma. She uses client-centered methods with elements from cognitive and dialectical behavior therapies to help people facing life stresses and relationship strains.
Yong began clinical work in 2005 providing therapeutic services for children and families, then moved into broader clinical roles serving individuals and couples. Over the years she has gained experience with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, addictions, and survivors of emotional and physical trauma.
She works in a client-centered way, which means sessions focus on the person's concerns and goals. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking and on dialectical behavior therapy skills for managing emotions and behavior. She also uses solution-focused and emotionally-focused ideas when they fit the client's needs.
Sessions commonly cover relationship concerns, parenting stress, grief and loss, intimacy difficulties, anger, and self-esteem. Yong frames each session around practical steps and skill-building alongside talk therapy. She aims to help people make changes that improve day-to-day functioning and relationships.
People who choose her often want a mix of problem-solving work and emotional processing. She reports using mindfulness techniques and short-term strategies when appropriate. To begin, clients are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so she can learn about their priorities and plan next steps.

How her approaches guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's goals and immediate concerns. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and adjust the pace to match their needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies for shifting thinking and behavior. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by building specific skills. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, useful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts get in the way of daily life.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review concerns, try out methods, and check in about what is working. Together they’ll pick tools and strategies that fit the client’s goals and preferences rather than committing to a single method up front.
The therapist's exact session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. Some formats also work better when video is not needed, or when a quick phone or audio session is preferable due to bandwidth or time constraints. Ask about available session types when you complete the matching questionnaire.
