More about Yong

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Hi, my name is Yong S. Pak. I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker in Las Vegas, Nevada. I have been working in the mental health field since 2005 initially providing specialized therapeutic services to children and families, and thereafter with the general population providing individual, couple, and family therapy. I am experienced in working with clients who struggle with depression and anxiety as well as other mental health issues such as bipolar, OCD, and ADHD. I also have experience in working with family issues, couple-related issues, parent-child relationships, grief and loss, as well as with survivors of emotional and physical trauma.

I utilize primarily a client-focused approach with variations mainly from cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused models. I believe every individual, couple, and family is unique and require a customized approach. My job is to provide this customized approach, utilizing my training and experience so that you can best realize your potential and success for therapy.

Since you have taken the initiative to address the challenges in your life through therapy, I hope that you will allow me to help guide and support you on this very personal journey and to achieve changes to become mentally healthier, stronger, and satisfied when it comes to yourself and your relationships with others.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Yong is a phenomenal human who gets it. She’s an effective listener and a beacon of light. Providing effective feedback and insight, so that I am able to guide myself into trying on new perspectives and possibilities. She holds space really well that allows me to feel, seen and heard. I really do appreciate her ability to connect and counsel.

Yong is incredible. Her calm, opening demeanor makes it easy for me to open up - which has always been difficult for me to do. She offers great advice and gives me “homework” to challenge myself to be better.

Yong Pak is the 2nd person I’ve seen here on BetterHelp, and I felt a connection and click with her more than my 1st. She’s friendly, listens, and brings up topics from messages between Live Sessions (if I wrote some things of note that week), and/or she also responds promptly by text.

Yong Pak brings a level if professionalism and respect that is desperately needed in the MH community. She is not being gated by infrastructure (patient perspective mind you) or so overloaded that she can no longer be compassionate. Truly feels like she is there for you, and what you're dealing with in that moment.
