Jakki Ling MS, LAC, NCC

Hello! My name is Jakki Ling. I am currently a Licensed Associate Counselor working on becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Arizona. I provide a safe space for adults to address anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, low self-esteem, attachment issues, life's challenges, and more. I have 8 years of experience in the mental health field, and am a Nationally Certified Counselor. I have my Bachelors of Science from the University of Arizona in Care, Health, and Society from the college of Social and Behavioral Sciences (with a minor in English Literature and a minor in Biological Sciences) and my Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the CACREP accredited Capella University and I own this private practice. What will sessions look like? That depends on what you need. I am experienced in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Expressive Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I will find what approach works best for you, while tracking your goals and progress, adjusting as necessary. My work focuses on targeting ineffective thoughts, beliefs and behaviors, that are negatively affecting the ability to fully live and enjoy life. I believe in joining my clients in their journey, understanding how they see the world, and integrating effective, evidence-based practices are best for long-lasting, effective change. Some personal information about me. I have been married for 7 years. My husband and I run our own board game business on the side of what we do for a living. I have many hobbies, and have had many experiences in life. I believe that people are inherently good and that we are all capable of amazing things. I would be honored to join you on your journey.
