Katy Kong, LPC

Katy Kong provides focused, direct therapy for adults and couples throughout Texas. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), she works with people who are ready to take an honest look at the patterns that shape their reactions and relationships.

Her practice often supports thoughtful, capable individuals who feel stuck in repeating cycles - defensiveness, withdrawal, over-functioning, or recurring arguments that never get resolved. Katy’s work is trauma-informed, which means she pays attention to how earlier experiences influence present-day responses. She helps clients notice these patterns in the moment and understand what the patterns are protecting, because recognizing a pattern is the first step toward changing it.

Katy has extensive experience working with adults navigating ADHD, especially when it affects emotional regulation, communication, and self-esteem. With couples, she focuses on identifying reactive cycles and on developing clearer, more accountable ways of communicating.

Therapy with Katy is structured, straightforward, and paced to challenge without overwhelming. She aims to move conversations beyond the surface so clients can pursue meaningful change, and she welcomes people who are ready to do that work.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Katy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape expectations and responses in current partnerships and friendships. It helps people identify attachment patterns - such as avoidance or anxiety - and learn new ways of connecting that reduce reactivity and increase trust.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-focused approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is often used to address stress, anxiety, and depressive patterns by teaching tools to shift unhelpful thinking and change behavioral responses.

The Gottman Method emphasizes clear communication and breaking reactive cycles within couples. It offers concrete strategies to improve dialogue, resolve recurring conflicts, and build accountability between partners.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katy will work collaboratively with each person or couple to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to access support from different locations across Texas. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to offer consistent, flexible care that meets clients where they are.
