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 and addresses stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family and parenting concerns, and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder.
Many people who see her describe feeling stuck in repeating cycles like withdrawal, defensiveness, or the same unresolved arguments. She works in a trauma-informed way, paying attention to how past experiences shape current reactions. That helps clients notice patterns as they occur and understand what those patterns are trying to protect.
Kong uses structured approaches to help people change how they respond. She often brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into sessions to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and try new responses. She also uses attachment-focused and narrative ideas to look at relationship patterns and personal stories that influence behavior.
She has particular experience with ADHD when it affects emotional regulation, communication, and self-esteem. With couples, she focuses on spotting reactive cycles and building clearer, more accountable communication. She also works with issues such as grief, addiction, intimacy concerns, anger, and career stress.
Sessions are directed and practical, with a pace that aims to be challenging without being overwhelming. Clients who want to move beyond surface-level conversations and make concrete changes will find her approach straightforward and focused.
How Katy uses CBT, attachment work, and narrative ideas online
Katy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot the thoughts and routines that keep problems going and then tests small behavior changes to see what helps. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps - noticing triggers, challenging unhelpful thinking, and practicing new responses between meetings.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationship patterns form and how people react under stress. That approach helps clarify recurring cycles in couples and close relationships. Katy incorporates Narrative Therapy ideas to examine the stories people tell about themselves and rewrite those stories to support different choices.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Katy treats this as a collaborative decision and will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. She explains why a particular method might help and adjusts the plan as progress is tracked.
The practical benefits of online work depend on the session formats offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the need to travel. Katy aims to keep sessions structured and focused so they fit into everyday life while addressing the patterns that matter.
