About Yoonkyung

Yoonkyung Chung is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with eight years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, sleep concerns, self-esteem struggles, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports clients dealing with trauma, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, eating concerns, parenting challenges, and career stress. Sessions are offered in English and Korean.

She combines straightforward, goal-focused work with acceptance and curiosity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a central part of her approach, and she also draws on client-centered, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic, and solution-focused ideas when helpful. That means she balances practical strategies with attention to feelings and patterns that repeat over time.

Chung’s background includes two master’s degrees and clinical work across diverse communities. She is a first-generation immigrant from South Korea and has experience working with Hispanic clients, which informs her cultural awareness in sessions. Her LPC credential is listed as TX LPC, indicating licensure in Texas.

In sessions she aims to make steady, practical progress toward agreed goals. She emphasizes teamwork with each person and tailors methods to individual needs. Her style is direct but warm, with an aim to help people find clearer thinking and better daily routines.

To begin, prospective clients are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged based on therapist availability and the subscription-based session structure.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and build self-direction by following their pace and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches practical skills and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve sleep and daily routines.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It is useful for addictions, low motivation, and moments when someone feels stuck.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each person to test methods, adjust goals, and pick techniques that match needs and preferences rather than using one fixed plan.

If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist's profile does not list specific formats, so clients should check what is available when they sign up. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around busy days, avoid travel time, use shorter check-ins when needed, and choose whether to have face-to-face video or an alternative format if offered. Licensed professionals aim to adapt methods so therapy can fit into everyday life.
