About Katy
Katy Kong is a Licensed Professional Counselor who offers direct, focused therapy for adults and couples in Texas. She uses clear, practical conversations to help people notice the patterns that shape their reactions and relationships. Sessions are straightforward and paced to be challenging without feeling overwhelming.
Katy emphasizes understanding how past experiences influence present behavior so change can begin. She often works with people who feel stuck in repeating cycles like defensiveness, withdrawal, or over-functioning.
Background and approach
Many clients arrive worried about communication breakdowns, emotional overwhelm, or difficulties tied to attention and self-worth. Katy brings a trauma-informed outlook and helps clients see what those patterns are protecting and when they show up. Katy has 13 years of counseling experience and helps clients who are managing anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, stress, grief, addictions, and intimacy-related issues.
She also addresses relationship concerns such as commitment, communication, and blended family challenges. Her approach includes practical tools alongside deeper exploration of history and meaning. In work with partners she focuses on identifying reactive cycles and building clearer, more accountable communication.
For adults navigating attention differences she highlights emotional regulation and self-esteem work in sessions. Therapy is structured, honest, and aimed at meaningful change. Katy holds the LPC credential, TX LPC 67999, and conducts sessions in English.
She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to clients across Texas. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.
Approaches that guide online work and relationship change
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current reactions and closeness. Katy uses it to help people recognize attachment patterns and learn new ways of connecting that feel safer and more honest. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into specific thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides practical steps to shift unhelpful thinking and build different habits for anxiety, depression, or stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Katy discusses goals and preferences with each person and recommends methods that match the issues they bring. She keeps the plan flexible so techniques can change as progress happens and new needs appear.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this practice. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations from home, while phone sessions give another convenient option. Live chat and text-based messaging help maintain momentum between meetings and suit people who prefer writing. These formats make scheduling easier and let licensed professionals provide consistent care across Texas.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Existential Therapy
Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
