About
Katy Kong, LPC, offers focused, direct therapy for adults and couples based in Texas, drawing on thirteen years of clinical practice. She works with people who are ready to examine the patterns that shape their reactions and relationships and who prefer a structured, straightforward approach. Katy emphasizes a trauma-informed perspective that connects past experience to present behavior without minimizing the practical steps needed to change it.
Her practice concentrates on breaking repeating cycles such as defensiveness, withdrawal, over-functioning, and unresolved arguments. With couples she targets reactive sequences and helps partners build clearer, more accountable communication. She also provides sustained support for adults navigating ADHD when it intersects with emotional regulation, communication, and self-esteem.
Katy’s sessions are described by her approach as honest and grounded in safety, with a pace intended to be challenging without becoming overwhelming. She draws on several clinical frameworks to help clients identify what patterns are protecting them and to begin practical work toward different choices. Areas of specialization include stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and career concerns.

Remote sessions grounded in structure and pattern work
Katy integrates attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients see how past relational patterns influence present reactions. Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship templates shape expectations and responses in close relationships. Cognitive behavioral methods break those patterns into thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so clients can experiment with alternatives in everyday life.
For couples she draws on elements of the Gottman method to surface recurring cycles and to teach clear, accountable communication skills. Narrative and psychodynamic influences appear in her emphasis on naming the stories and defenses that keep patterns in place. Katy frames therapy as collaborative; she works best with people who are willing to look honestly at patterns and to practice new ways of relating between sessions.
Remote formats available include video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the communication style that fits their needs.
