About Katy
Katy Kong is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who offers focused, direct therapy for adults and couples in Texas. She invites people who feel stuck in repeating patterns to look honestly at how those patterns shape reactions and relationships. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical while still honoring each person's pace.
Katy often works with thoughtful, capable people who find themselves caught in cycles like defensiveness, withdrawal, or repeating arguments.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how past experiences influence present behavior and helps clients spot those moments as they happen. Noticing a pattern is treated as the first step toward changing it. Her practice includes work with adults navigating ADHD when it affects emotion regulation, communication, and self-esteem.
With couples she focuses on identifying reactive cycles and building clearer, more accountable communication habits. The goal is to move past surface-level conversations into concrete shifts in how people relate. Therapy with Katy is structured and honest.
She sets a pace that challenges clients without overwhelming them. Sessions combine narrative ways of understanding problems with practical tools for daily life. Over 13 years of practice in Texas, Katy has developed an approach that balances insight and action.
She helps people see what their stories are doing, then supports them in trying new responses. That mix of awareness and real-world steps is central to the work she offers.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Online session options
How narrative and attachment work online
Online sessions with Katy often draw on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at patterns in life stories and helps people separate themselves from unhelpful narratives so they can experiment with new ways of acting and relating.She also uses Attachment-Based work to notice how past connection experiences influence current reactions. That helps with communication, trust issues, and managing strong emotions in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used alongside these approaches, breaks down thoughts and behaviors into small parts so clients can try concrete changes and notice different results.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Katy treats it as a collaborative process where goals, preferences, and real-life needs guide which methods are used. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, brief coaching, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
