    About Yoonkyung

    Yoonkyung Chung is a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and a wide range of relationship and life challenges. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, career stress, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and other changes in life. She works in English and Korean.

    Chung draws on about eight years of clinical experience. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a main approach while also offering client-centered, psychodynamic, solution-focused techniques and Motivational Interviewing when helpful. Her style is practical and collaborative. She partners with clients to set clear goals and take manageable steps toward them.

    She is a first-generation immigrant from South Korea and describes past work that increased her cultural awareness, including time supporting Hispanic communities. Those experiences inform how she pays attention to cultural and family dynamics in sessions. Chung holds two master’s degrees and uses clinical experience to guide her perspective.

    In sessions she prioritizes straightforward, respectful conversation. She aims to make small, steady progress rather than promising quick fixes. Clients can expect to talk through immediate concerns, learn tools to change thinking and behavior patterns, and revisit goals as work proceeds.

    To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and she does not accept international clients.

  2. How her approaches work in online care

    Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation one step at a time. It is often used when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about changing behavior, such as with substance use or lifestyle shifts.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and then practicing different behaviors and coping skills. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress related to work or relationships.

    Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the person leads the pace and topics. That approach supports people who need time to explore feelings and values before trying specific tools.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as needs become clearer.

    Confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let someone continue care while managing work, family, or school responsibilities without requiring a commute.
