About Yoonkyung
Yoonkyung Chung is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, trauma, and relationship concerns. She speaks English and Korean and brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions. Her background as a first-generation immigrant informs how she understands cultural issues and life transitions.
She listens first and asks practical questions to clarify goals. Then she and the client work together on steps that feel doable.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and focused on what will help in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a main method she uses, with attention to how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help changing habits like substance use.
She also draws on client-centered and psychodynamic ideas when those fit the situation. Her training includes two master’s degrees and several years working with Hispanic communities, which added to her cultural awareness. That background shapes how she frames problems and options in ways clients can relate to.
Yoonkyung aims to move people toward clear, practical change rather than long lists of exercises. She treats each person with respect and works as a partner on realistic steps. The focus is on steady progress and building skills a person can use outside sessions.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own perspective and priorities. In practice she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set goals that matter to them. This approach supports issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and grief by keeping the work focused on the client’s values and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. She uses CBT to break down anxious or depressive patterns and to build small behavior changes that make daily life easier. Motivational Interviewing complements this when people want to shift habits such as substance use by drawing out motivation rather than pushing advice.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss options, try methods that fit a person’s needs, and adjust the plan as the work progresses. Clients help set goals and priorities so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online formats offer flexibility and easy access. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in, live chat suits brief exchanges, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders and short reflections. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family commitments.
