About Yoonkyung
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience, Yoonkyung Chung helps people deal with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She speaks English and Korean.
Chung works in a direct, practical way. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and also draws on client-centered, psychodynamic, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused approaches when they fit a person's needs. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, testing small changes, and building concrete coping strategies.
She is a first-generation immigrant from South Korea and has several years of experience working with Hispanic communities. That background shapes how she attends to cultural and family dynamics in sessions. Chung has two master's degrees and clinical experience that inform her perspective on family conflict and dynamics.
In sessions she treats problems like substance use, suicidal thoughts, and social anxiety with structured work and clear goals. She also helps with practical issues such as parenting stress, sleep problems, and career-related decisions. Conversations are used to uncover thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to try new ways of responding.
Chung emphasizes collaboration. She and the person in therapy set goals together and revisit progress. She recommends approaches that match each person's goals and daily life, and adjusts methods as needed.

How her approaches look in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to the person's concerns. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects feelings and priorities, and helps clarify goals. This approach is useful for people who want support sorting through emotions and deciding what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing new skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or sleep problems.
Motivational Interviewing helps when a person feels stuck about change. It uses focused conversation to explore ambivalence and find personal reasons to move forward, often applied to substance use or other behavior change goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily life to choose methods that fit. That plan can change as progress is reviewed, so methods are adapted over time in collaboration.

They can also allow for shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and remove the need to be on camera if that helps a person engage.
