About Katy

Katy Kong is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of experience. She provides focused, direct therapy for adults and couples across the state and helps people who are tired of repeating relationship and behavior patterns.

Many clients Katy sees are capable and thoughtful but feel stuck in cycles like defensiveness, withdrawal, or over-functioning. She pays attention to how past experiences shape present reactions and uses that information in practical ways. The goal is to notice the pattern as it happens and understand what it is protecting so new responses become possible.

Katy works extensively with adults navigating ADHD when it affects emotional regulation, communication, or self-esteem. With couples she looks for reactive cycles and helps build clearer, more accountable communication. She also addresses stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, codependency, intimacy concerns, and work or career strain.

Sessions are structured and straightforward. She moves at a pace that pushes for change without being overwhelming. Therapy includes talking through patterns, practicing different responses, and tracking progress between sessions.

People who want honest, practical work on relationships and self-management often find this style useful. To begin, Katy asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so she can get a clear sense of current concerns.

How sessions work

How Katy applies therapy methods online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections affect current relationships. It helps people recognize patterns of seeking closeness or pulling away and understand emotional triggers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors when anxiety, low mood, or codependent habits arise.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Katy will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together the client and therapist decide whether to emphasize attachment work, CBT techniques, or a mix of both as sessions progress.

Confirm the session formats available before booking. The practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy into a busy week, cutting travel time, and allowing for quicker check-ins around life demands. Online sessions can make it easier to attend during a lunch break or between obligations, and they often let people try conversational exercises that connect directly to home life. Ask about current session options when you start the matching questionnaire so scheduling matches your routine.
