About Katy
Katy Kong is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who offers focused, direct therapy for adults and couples in Texas. She tends to work with people who are ready to look honestly at how their patterns shape feelings and relationships. Her approach aims to help clients notice what keeps them stuck and take practical steps to change.
Katy sees many thoughtful, capable people who feel trapped in repeating cycles. These can show up as defensiveness, withdrawal, over-functioning, or the same arguments over and over.
Background and approach
She uses a trauma-informed lens to look at how past events affect current reactions. In sessions she helps clients name patterns as they happen and understand what those patterns are protecting. That clarity becomes the starting point for change.
Therapy is structured and direct, with a steady pace that aims to be challenging without being overwhelming. Katy works extensively with adults managing ADHD, especially when attention differences affect emotional regulation, communication, or self-esteem. With couples she focuses on spotting reactive cycles and building clearer, more accountable ways to talk.
Over 13 years of practice she has used approaches that include attachment work, cognitive behavior strategies, existential questions, narrative methods, and Gottman-informed skills. She frames goals concretely so people leave with usable tools and clearer next steps.
How Katy’s approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in current relationships. Online sessions use this work to identify patterns of closeness and distance and help people try different ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In virtual sessions Katy teaches concrete tools for managing anxiety, reworking negative self-talk, and improving emotional regulation. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katy will talk with each client about goals, needs, and preferences and then tailor which methods to use. That collaborative planning helps determine whether more skills-based work, attachment-focused exploration, or a mix of approaches will be most useful. Online therapy with Katy can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and practicing skills together, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can provide brief check-ins or coaching between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and different comfort levels.Questions people ask
