About Katy
Katy Kong is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. She provides focused, direct therapy for adults and couples across Texas and often helps people who feel stuck in repeating patterns that affect their reactions and relationships.
Katy works with clients who notice cycles like defensiveness, withdrawal, over-functioning, or repeated arguments. Her work is trauma-informed, which means she pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions. She helps people name patterns as they happen and understand what those patterns are protecting.
She also spends substantial time supporting adults living with ADHD when it affects emotion regulation, communication, and self-esteem. With couples she looks for reactive cycles and practical ways to build clearer, more accountable communication. Sessions are structured and direct, with a clear focus on making changes rather than only talking about problems.
Katy aims to move at a pace that challenges clients without overwhelming them. She uses methods that look at attachment, thought patterns, personal stories, and relationship habits to find workable shifts. Clients can expect straightforward feedback, skill practice, and attention to how history influences present behavior.
If someone is ready to go beyond surface-level conversation and try different ways of responding, Katy offers collaborative, goal-focused sessions to help make those changes.
How Katy’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns continue to affect reactions now. Online sessions using this lens focus on noticing interaction styles, how people respond under stress, and building alternative responses for relationships and intimacy.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Online CBT sessions typically include brief teaching, practice exercises, and check-ins about how new strategies went between meetings, which fits goal-oriented work on anxiety, mood, or ADHD-related challenges.
Narrative Therapy pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves and their lives. In an online format this often means naming dominant themes, testing other storylines, and practicing new language to shift identity and behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katy works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's goals, values, and daily routines. She will discuss options and adjust the focus as needs and preferences become clearer.
Session formats are not listed in the therapist biography, so confirm the specific online options before booking. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week, making shorter check-ins possible, and reducing travel time. These practicalities can make regular therapy easier to maintain while juggling school, early career demands, or relationship work.
