About Yoonkyung
Yoonkyung Chung is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship strain, addiction, grief, and related concerns. She speaks English and Korean and brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions. She aims for straightforward, practical work that fits a client's life and goals.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often focused on identifying patterns that keep problems going and testing new ways of thinking and acting.
Background and approach
She also draws on client-centered ideas to create space for each person to be heard and understood. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to change habits like substance use or unhealthy patterns. Chung is a first-generation immigrant from South Korea and has worked closely with Hispanic communities, which shaped her cultural awareness and sensitivity.
She holds two master's degrees and applies clinical experience to understand different family dynamics and conflicts. Her background supports clear, respectful conversations about identity, intimacy, parenting, and life transitions. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused.
She helps people set realistic steps, try small experiments, and track what works. Progress is treated as a shared effort, with adjustments made when needed. Most clients find practical strategies for sleep, mood, anger, and everyday functioning helpful.
Chung emphasizes steady, manageable change and partners with people to build healthier daily routines and stronger self-understanding.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and routines that keep problems like anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and sleep issues going. CBT uses short exercises, behavior experiments, and structured tools that fit well into remote sessions. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to change habits such as substance use or other behaviors by strengthening their own reasons for change and planning doable next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss methods and try different techniques together to see what fits a client's needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions about focus and style are collaborative and can be adjusted over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps with brief updates or reminders. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and to keep steady momentum between sessions.
