About Yoonkyung

Yoonkyung Chung is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with eight years of clinical experience helping people navigate a wide range of mental health challenges.

Background and approach

She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders including bipolar, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, relationship and family matters, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and career stressors, and ADHD.

Fluent in English and Korean, she brings cross-cultural sensitivity shaped by her background as a first-generation immigrant from South Korea and years of practice with diverse communities. Her primary orientation centers on cognitive behavioral therapy, including elements of rational emotive behavioral therapy, while also drawing on client-centered, psychodynamic, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques as needed.

Chung emphasizes a collaborative, respectful partnership with clients, tailoring interventions to individual goals and life circumstances. She approaches each person with seriousness and a focus on measurable progress, combining academic training and practical experience to explore family dynamics and personal patterns.

Prospective clients are invited to begin by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a brief matching questionnaire to arrange sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Yoonkyung Chung frequently draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is practical for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life changes. She also uses client-centered Therapy which emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients can explore goals at their own pace and feel heard and valued. Motivational interviewing is another tool she employs to support people who are ambivalent about change, particularly around addictions or lifestyle adjustments, by helping them find internal motivation for steps forward.

Choosing the right method is treated as a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all decision. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and may blend elements from different approaches to create a personalized plan that fits the individual's situation and pace.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for scheduling around work, family, and daily life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care from different locations and to select a communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward therapeutic goals.
