01About Yoonkyung
Yoonkyung Chung is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, trauma, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting stress, career transitions, bipolar challenges, and ADHD. She speaks English and Korean and brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions. She prefers straightforward, practical work in the room.
Her main approach is cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centered listening to understand each person’s priorities and motivational interviewing when someone needs help finding the will to change. Chung’s background includes two master’s degrees and clinical roles with culturally diverse communities. She is a first-generation immigrant from South Korea and has spent time working with Hispanic clients, which has informed her cultural awareness and sensitivity.
In sessions she aims for concrete steps and measurable progress. Conversations often include skill practice, simple experiments to try between sessions, and checking what helped or didn’t help. She frames therapy as teamwork toward realistic goals.
Her work covers a wide range of life challenges from acute stress and mood shifts to longer-term patterns like addiction or relationship difficulties. People can expect a mix of practical tools and reflective conversation that connects daily struggles to larger patterns. Chung uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs rather than a single fixed model.
Her approach centers on listening first, then choosing techniques that fit the person’s situation and goals.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions let a therapist offer that same attentive listening while people use words, chat, or video to explain what they’re feeling and trying to change.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions a therapist can coach thought records, walk through experiments to try between meetings, and review results by chat or during video calls to track what changes.
Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. That approach works well online because brief phone or text conversations can be used to check readiness, celebrate small shifts, and keep momentum between longer sessions.
Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that fit their goals, preferences, and daily routines. That plan can change over time as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick questions, skill coaching, or ongoing encouragement between scheduled sessions.
