About Katy
Katy Kong is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 13 years of experience. She works with adults and couples on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, parenting concerns, ADHD, trauma and related issues using focused, direct therapy. Her style is structured and honest, and she aims to help clients notice the patterns that shape reactions and relationships.
Kong describes her work as trauma-informed, which means paying attention to how past experiences influence current behavior. She helps people recognize recurring patterns such as defensiveness, withdrawal, or over-functioning and understand what those patterns are protecting. The goal is to make those patterns visible so change can begin.
She often works with adults managing ADHD, especially when attention differences affect emotional control, communication, and self-esteem. With couples, she focuses on spotting reactive cycles and building clearer, more accountable ways of talking and responding to each other.
Kong uses approaches that include attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative methods, existential questions, and elements of the Gottman method. Sessions are practical and paced to be challenging without overwhelming the client.
Clients can expect direct feedback and concrete observations during sessions. The therapist guides people through noticing how reactions appear in the moment and then practices alternative responses. This approach aims to move conversations past surface-level problems toward sustained change.

How attachment work and CBT translate to virtual care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people and couples understand emotional responses and build more reliable ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and reactions. The Gottman Method concentrates on communication habits and reducing reactive cycles in partnerships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Treatment choices are revisited as needs change and progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday or work break, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. They can also let people choose shorter or camera-off meetings when that helps them engage. Ask about specific session lengths and arrangements when scheduling to make sure they fit your routine.
