CBT Therapy in Oregon

It has been a privilege to provide psychotherapy to a variety of patients for over 20 years. I have advanced clinical training in trauma, addictions, sexual abuse, depression and anxiety, and relationships. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and respectful. I provide support and encouragement as you examine core issues and change entrenched patterns of behavior or simply gain clarity concerning a recent issue.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 20 years of experience supporting individuals, families, older adults, and medically complex patients across a wide range of healthcare and community settings. My approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and practicality—I help clients navigate life’s challenges by focusing on what matters most to them. My background spans emergency departments, primary care clinics, long‐term care facilities, hospice, crisis response, and private practice. This breadth allows me to offer therapy that is warm, grounded, and deeply informed by real‐world experience.

Welcome. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of experience working alongside individuals as they build resilience, deepen self‑understanding, and move toward meaningful change. My practice is fully telehealth‑based, serving clients in both Texas and Oregon. I come from humble beginnings, and much of my early life was shaped by being the person others naturally turned to when they were struggling. Over time, I realized that my ability to listen deeply, offer steady support, and hold space for people in their hardest moments wasn’t just part of my personality — it was pointing me toward my calling.

Experiencing symptoms like persistent anxiety, irritability, emotional exhaustion, feeling constantly on edge, loss of joy, impulsiveness, addiction, plus pervasive frustration in relationships or with family members can be overwhelming. In such cases, therapy or counseling is an appropriate initial step. I possess extensive knowledge and skills in mental health counseling, spanning many years. I am a licensed professional counselor with a strong background in mental health and allopathic medicine. I strive to bring my broad knowledge, training, and skill set to my professional counseling. My counseling/psychotherapy expertise includes working with children, adolescents, and adults with various mental health, addictive, coping, and dependency problems. These include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, gambling, psychosis, sleeping problems, and body dysmorphic and eating disorders.

I have been in practice for 19 years. I went back to school as an older adult which gave me life experiences that have enriched my counseling practice. I did my internship at a Community Based Outpatient Veterans Clinic in Eugene, OR. I started my private practice in 2007 and work with veterans, couples, and adults. I moved to Portland, OR in 2020 and have done mostly TeleHealth counseling. I do have some in person appointments that are mostly in the evening.

Greetings, my name is Jacky Jaeok Kim and my Korean name translates to “pearl of wisdom” in my native tongue. I’m also a 1st generation Korean immigrant to the US, a proud dog mom, an insatiable polymath, a technology advocate, and a person of many facets with a lifetime’s worth of stories under my belt. As a former DACA recipient and survivor of SA, I carry a deep understanding of resilience and hope with me in everything I do. I have 11 years of experience in the mental health/medical field and community-based work. My journey began advocating for the civil rights and safety of individuals in the criminal justice system with Orleans Public Defenders. From there, I expanded my work to serve diverse populations in juvenile justice, education, hospital systems and more. A formative experience in my career was a summer spent fly-fishing and working alongside grizzlies in Katmai National Park, where I was in complete reverence to Mother Nature and the remoteness of the Alaskan wilderness. This eventually led me to the Yukon-Kuskokwim region of Western Alaska upon receiving my MSW, where I worked as an itinerant social worker among the Yup’ik population. This experience deepened my respect for the indigenous way of life and reinforced my life’s commitment to providing meaningful, excellent patient care and therapy in rural settings.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years of professional experience helping adults manage anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, problems in relationship, and unexpected losses and transitions. I will help you untangle the effects of past trauma, change habitual ways of thinking or behaving that are no longer serving you, navigate loss, or make an important life decision. My communication style is very personable, empathic and conversational. I like to ask thought-provoking and clarifying questions, offer alternative views, and will always honor your choices. Diversity is honored here.

My journey into therapy began with a desire to help the hurting individuals I worked with in a group home, and a genuine passion for helping others find strength through life’s most difficult moments. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people facing a wide range of challenges—experiences that have shown me just how powerful and transformative therapy can be. These moments have only deepened my commitment to walking alongside others on their path to healing. I’m continually inspired by the belief that every person holds the capacity for growth, resilience, and change. We can change and heal. Sometimes we just need a little help along the way.

I help clients navigate emotional struggles and transform their lives with compassionate, evidence-based therapy. I take a client centered approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. I am straightforward, compassionate, and understanding. I will always be truthful and upfront, with the goal of creating a supportive, safe, non-judgmental environment.

Some of my clients talk about the challenges of sharing past trauma with others because they feel like it is "too much" and they've had negative experiences with the reactions of other helpers. I worked for 20 years in substance abuse programs and mental health roles in correctional facilities. In these roles, I worked to provide dignity, skills, and accountability for individuals in custody in order to aid in creating change both for them individually and increasing community safety. This experience has been instrumental for me in understanding and being able to sit with the pain of others. My experience has really allowed for me to hold healing space for these folks because I don't have judgment or a personal reaction to stories and expressions of trauma due to my experiences. I describe my style as being pretty down to earth, neurodivergent affirming, and creative. I am direct and clear in pointing out areas for growth and sharing patterns of thinking or behavior that increase challenges for clients as well as identifying progress and change. I have been working in therapy specifically since 2021 and started my own practice in 2024. I provide ADHD assessments and WPATH gender affirming care assessments as well as therapy with CBT, DBT, and EMDR frameworks. My core values have always been built around helping others, creating authentic and caring spaces, and (to quote Gandhi) being the change I'd like to see in the world.

I am a therapist who has been in practice for over 40 years providing techniques to children, families and the elderly that empower them to make changes in their lives that put them more in balance with their true potential and resilience. My counseling is a mosaic of education, experience and continued learning to assist my clients in living their best possible life.

I am so glad you reached out for help! I am passionate about helping people navigate life's difficulties with compassion and empathy. Oftentimes, it is our difficulties that are the catalyst for big change. I bring over 30 years of counseling experience in a variety of settings (Residential treatment, Intensive outpatient, EAP and private practice) but most enjoy connecting in individual sessions. I look forward to working with you and assisting you with living your best life.

I work with adults in Arizona and Oregon who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and family estrangement. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns shaped by past experiences or complicated family dynamics. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I integrate evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). I tailor therapy to your needs and pace, with a strong focus on helping you feel safe, supported, and understood throughout the process. Together, we work on reducing anxiety, processing painful or unresolved experiences, strengthening relationships, and building healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. I aim to create a space where you don’t have to have everything figured out, just a willingness to show up and begin moving toward meaningful, lasting change.
