About Katy

Katy Kong is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of experience offering practical, direct therapy to adults and couples across Texas. She focuses on spotting the repeating patterns that cause pain in relationships and daily life.

Background and approach

Sessions are straightforward and aimed at helping people make real changes. She often meets people who feel stuck in cycles like defensiveness, withdrawal, or over-functioning.

Katy pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions. That includes a trauma-informed view that helps clients see what their behaviors are protecting.

Katy works a lot with adults navigating ADHD and the ways it can affect emotional regulation, communication, and self-esteem. With couples, she looks for reactive cycles and helps build clearer, more accountable communication.

Her approach is structured and honest. Sessions move at a pace that challenges without overwhelming.

Clients can expect to identify patterns, learn tools to interrupt them, and practice new ways of relating. She blends practical techniques with deeper conversation about meaning and attachment.

That mix supports changes that stick rather than quick fixes. If someone is ready to go beyond surface-level talks, Katy aims to help them make meaningful progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Gottman Method focuses on how couples communicate and solve problems together. It involves identifying harmful cycles, teaching clearer communication skills, and helping partners rebuild trust and connection in everyday interactions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds. It helps people recognize connection patterns, understand emotional needs, and make different choices in relationships when old responses no longer serve them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it teaches practical steps to change thoughts and actions that keep problems going.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Katy will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. That collaborative process helps find what actually helps in daily life.

Online therapy with Katy includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use face-to-face interaction from home. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for ongoing coaching, quick updates, or when writing feels more natural. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules.
