About Katy
Katy Kong is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who offers focused, direct therapy for adults and couples in Texas. She centers work on the thoughts and everyday habits that keep people stuck. Katy invites honest reflection and practical change rather than surface-level talk.
Many clients come when patterns repeat - defensiveness, withdrawal, over-functioning, or the same unresolved arguments. Katy pays attention to how past experiences influence present reactions and helps clients notice these patterns as they happen. Recognizing what a pattern is protecting is a first step toward changing it.
She has 13 years of experience and brings a trauma-informed lens to sessions. That means she looks for the ways earlier events shape emotional responses and relationship dynamics, while keeping progress paced and manageable. Sessions are described as structured and honest, with steady movement toward clearer goals.
Katy works extensively with adults navigating ADHD when it affects emotional regulation, communication, and self-esteem. With couples she focuses on spotting reactive cycles and building clearer, more accountable communication between partners.
If someone is ready to move beyond repeated behaviors and take practical steps, Katy supports that process. She helps people translate insight into different habits and routines so daily life starts to feel more manageable and connected.

How Katy’s Approaches Work Online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. It helps people understand why they react a certain way to closeness or distance and supports building more secure patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the thoughts and everyday habits that influence feelings and behavior. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and develop new routines for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose which methods to try and adapt them over time based on what helps most.
