About Katy
Katy Kong is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. She provides focused, direct therapy for adults and couples and works with a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, parenting, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and ADHD.
Katy sees many clients who are capable and thoughtful but feel stuck in repeating patterns. She pays attention to how past experiences influence present reactions and describes her work as trauma-informed. Sessions look at patterns such as defensiveness, withdrawal, or over-functioning and name what those reactions are trying to protect.
Katy uses clear, structured sessions aimed at helping people notice patterns as they happen. She helps clients break cycles by making reactions visible and by practicing different ways of responding. Her style is direct and paced to be challenging without feeling overwhelming.
She also works with adults navigating ADHD, particularly where emotional regulation, communication, and self-esteem are affected. With couples she focuses on spotting reactive cycles and building clearer, more accountable communication habits rather than staying on surface topics.
Katy integrates several therapeutic approaches to fit the work at hand. That can mean looking at attachment dynamics, using cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, or applying methods to improve how partners talk and repair after conflict. She asks questions, gives practical feedback, and helps people try different skills between sessions.
How sessions work
How Katy’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and closeness. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in how they seek comfort, pull away, or react in relationships so they can try new ways of relating.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions Katy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, test them, and practice different behaviors to reduce anxiety or improve mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katy will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and the plan can shift as needs change.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports working through communication skills and behavioral experiments between meetings, which is often a central part of her practical, skill-focused approach.
