About Katy
Katy Kong, LPC, offers focused, direct therapy for adults and couples in Texas. She helps people who notice the same painful patterns repeating in their relationships and day-to-day life. Sessions are practical and honest, aimed at clear changes rather than staying on the surface.
Katy often works with thoughtful, capable people who feel stuck in cycles like defensiveness, withdrawal, or over-functioning. She pays attention to how past experiences and trauma shape current reactions. That makes it easier to spot the pattern when it shows up in real time.
She brings a structured approach to work on emotional regulation, communication, and self-esteem. Katy has particular experience with ADHD when it plays a role in those struggles. With couples, she focuses on identifying reactive cycles and building clearer, more accountable ways to talk.
Her style is steady and direct, with a pace that challenges without overwhelming. Therapy is trauma-informed, so sessions include looking at what patterns are protecting a person or relationship. The goal is to move toward practical shifts that change how someone shows up in life and with others.
Over 13 years in practice, Katy has developed ways to help people manage anxiety, grief, codependency concerns, and life transitions. She works in English and sees clients across Texas. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule with her.
How her approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy in her work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people see why they react in certain ways and supports building more reliable ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and habits into small steps you can change, which helps with anxiety, depression, and behavior patterns. The Gottman Method focuses on communication and managing reactive cycles in couples, offering concrete tools to talk and problem solve more effectively.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katy will discuss options and tailor the mix of methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
