Katy Kong , LPC

Katy Kong is a Licensed Professional Counselor who offers direct, focused therapy for adults and couples across Texas. She works with people who want to identify the patterns that shape their emotions and relationships. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping clients move past repeating cycles and get unstuck.

Katy often sees thoughtful, capable people who feel trapped by defensiveness, withdrawal, or ongoing arguments. She pays attention to how past experiences influence current reactions and helps clients notice these patterns in real time. That awareness is used to make concrete changes in behaviors and responses.

She has 13 years of clinical experience and works a great deal with adults who have ADHD, especially when it affects emotional control, communication, or self-esteem. With couples, she focuses on spotting reactive cycles and teaching clearer, more accountable ways to talk and listen.

Sessions are structured and honest, aiming to challenge clients without overwhelming them. Katy balances direct feedback with steady pacing so progress feels doable rather than forced.

Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family concerns, trauma and grief, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and addiction-related struggles. She also addresses concerns like codependency, body image, abandonment, and communication problems.

Katy works in English and provides therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships. It helps people recognize patterns of closeness or distance and work toward more secure ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, and impulsive reactions. Narrative Therapy invites clients to tell and reframe their life stories to reduce the power of unhelpful beliefs and open up new choices.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. Katy will discuss goals, past experiences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences. She adjusts pace and techniques as progress is made so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different life demands. Video calls allow in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in option, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into work, parenting, or daily routines.
