Yoonkyung Chung , LPC

Yoonkyung Chung is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience working with a wide range of life-challenging mental health concerns. She supports people facing depression, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, substance use, trauma and abuse, relationship and family conflicts, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other challenges such as parenting stress and career transitions.

As a first-generation immigrant from South Korea, she brings cultural sensitivity to her work and has expanded her perspective through years of experience with Hispanic communities. Her clinical training includes two master’s degrees and extensive hands-on experience, which she applies when assessing family dynamics and addressing interpersonal conflicts.

Her primary counseling approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, including techniques from Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, and she integrates other evidence-based methods when they benefit the client. She approaches each person’s situation with seriousness and a commitment to steady, practical progress, working collaboratively to set and reach counseling goals.

Yoonkyung views each individual as central to their own world and emphasizes teamwork in therapy, believing that joint effort can help improve a person’s life and relationships.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Flexible Options

Yoonkyung draws primarily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning, and Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and partnering with the client to support personal growth. She also uses Motivational Interviewing when clients are weighing change, helping to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for steps like reducing substance use or improving health habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Yoonkyung works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can happen by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging when that better fits a client’s schedule or comfort. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, manage life obligations, and access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere while working toward meaningful change.
