About Yoonkyung
Yoonkyung Chung is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and related life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Korean.
Chung uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on client-centered principles to keep conversations focused on what matters most to the person in the room.
Her background as a first-generation immigrant from South Korea and years working with Hispanic communities have shaped her cultural awareness. She holds two master’s degrees and combines academic training with hands-on clinical experience. That background informs how she talks through family dynamics and conflict.
Work in her sessions is collaborative and goal-focused. People set concrete aims such as managing impulses, reducing workplace or parenting tension, or improving sleep and coping after loss. Practical tools, brief skill practice, and discussion of real-life examples are common parts of sessions.
Chung also uses techniques from motivational interviewing, psychodynamic ideas, and solution-focused strategies when they fit a person's goals. She asks questions, offers observations, and helps people try small changes between sessions to see what works.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and prioritizing the person's own goals. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is often used for anger, anxiety, sleep problems, and mood shifts because it gives concrete skills and short exercises.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, combining approaches as needed. That means experiments with different techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting plans based on results.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. It can also let people join from different locations inside Texas. Expect practical tools, homework between sessions, and a focus on usable strategies that match everyday life.
