Yoonkyung Chung, LPC

Yoonkyung Chung is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction problems, and relationship or family concerns. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma or abuse, anger, low self-esteem, sleep or eating difficulties, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and life transitions.

She uses straightforward, practical talk in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients set concrete goals. Conversations often focus on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and what can be changed day to day.

Her main clinical approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, including techniques from Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy. She also draws on client-centered listening, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic ideas, and solution-focused strategies when they fit a person's needs.

Chung trained at the master's level and has eight years of clinical experience working with diverse communities. She is a first-generation immigrant from South Korea and has experience working with Hispanic clients, which has shaped her cultural awareness and sensitivity.

Sessions are offered in English and Korean. She meets people through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Practical scheduling and steady progress are central to her approach; she emphasizes teamwork and small steps that add up to meaningful change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

The practice uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and many everyday stressors.

Client-centered therapy shapes the way sessions feel: the therapist listens without judgment and follows what matters most to the person. Motivational Interviewing is used to help people find their own reasons to change and to build commitment when motivation is mixed.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust strategies as progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video is well suited to deeper therapeutic work and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders or small reflections between sessions. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, school, parenting, or other commitments.
