About Yoonkyung
Yoonkyung Chung is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, anger, and low self-esteem.

She draws on eight years of clinical work with diverse clients, including experience with cultural and family dynamics. Her everyday style is straightforward.
Background and approach
She listens first, then helps people set concrete goals and steps they can try between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is a core part of her practice. That means she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, and then try practical changes that can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
She also uses client-centered listening to respond to what matters most to each person. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It helps people find their own reasons to move forward without pressure.
Solution-Focused methods are brought in to identify small, realistic next steps when immediate change is the priority. Her background as a first-generation immigrant informs how she understands cultural stress and family roles. She holds two master’s degrees and applies that training alongside hands-on clinical experience.
People meet her expecting practical tools, clear goals, and a collaborative approach.
Approaches that fit online therapy sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects feelings, and helps clarify goals, which can make talking over video or chat feel focused and supportive.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In online sessions this often means identifying patterns, setting small practice tasks, and reviewing progress between meetings to build new habits for anxiety, depression, or sleep problems.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about making a change. It uses open questions and gentle reflection to find personal reasons to move forward, which works well in shorter phone check-ins or ongoing text conversations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to each person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as needed.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let people read facial cues and use worksheets together. Phone sessions are a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can provide shorter, flexible touchpoints between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
