About Katy

Katy Kong is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of experience helping adults and couples. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, anger, trauma and related concerns. Her work is direct and practical for people who are ready to examine patterns that repeat in their lives and relationships.

Many clients Katy meets are capable and thoughtful but feel stuck in the same cycles. They notice defensiveness, withdrawal, over-functioning, or repeated arguments. She takes a trauma-informed stance and points out how past experiences show up in current reactions.

Katy helps people spot those patterns as they happen. She talks through what the patterns are protecting and what might change if the pattern shifts. That tends to make emotional responses more understandable and less automatic.

She also works a lot with adults who have ADHD, especially when it affects emotional regulation, communication, and self-esteem. With couples, Katy looks for reactive cycles and focuses on clearer, more accountable ways of talking to each other.

Sessions are structured and honest, with a steady pace that aims to be challenging without feeling overwhelming. Katy prioritizes practical steps people can try between sessions. If someone wants to get past surface-level talk and address patterns that fuel anger or repeated conflict, she offers a straightforward approach.

How sessions work

How Katy uses therapy approaches online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence how people react today. It helps uncover why certain interactions trigger strong emotions and makes those reactions easier to name and discuss.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try new responses when anger or anxiety arises.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katy will collaborate with each client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress and challenges unfold.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow quicker check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats may be better for short check-ins while others suit longer, more involved conversations - ask about which options are offered when you schedule.
