About Yoonkyung

Yoonkyung Chung is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas who focuses on common family and parenting concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, and relationship struggles. She writes plainly with parents in mind and aims to make therapy practical and understandable. Sessions can address sleep and eating problems, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, and life transitions.

She speaks English and Korean and brings eight years of clinical experience to her work.

Background and approach

Chung trained with a focus on approaches that help people change thoughts and behaviors. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thinking patterns affect feelings and actions. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations grounded in the client’s perspective and Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change.

Her background includes two master’s degrees and clinical roles that exposed her to varied family dynamics and cultural contexts. As a first-generation immigrant from South Korea, she has experience working with Hispanic communities and pays attention to cultural factors in care. She aims to treat each person with respect and curiosity.

In sessions she works collaboratively to set clear, achievable goals. Expect direct but compassionate conversation, practical strategies you can try between sessions, and regular check-ins about progress. Her style is goal-oriented while staying attentive to personal values and culture.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and session formats include video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful connection. The therapist follows your pace and focuses on what matters to you, which can help with stress, relationship worries, and parenting concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and managing strong emotions like anger.

Motivational Interviewing supports readiness for change by exploring personal goals and ambivalence. It can be useful for addictions, lifestyle changes, and starting new parenting strategies.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are picked to match practical aims.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, follow up between meetings, and get support from home. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver the same therapeutic techniques they would in person while keeping sessions focused on progress and real-life application.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
