More about Yoonkyung

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hi, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and have worked for over 8 years with people who suffer from diverse, life-challenging mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, anger management, low self-esteem, suicidal ideation, sexual or physical abuse, social phobia, drug/alcohol abuse, parenting, relationship issues, etc.

I am a first-generation immigrant from South Korea and have worked with the Hispanic population for several years, enhancing my cultural awareness.

I can also approach various family dynamics and conflicts with psychologically knowledgeable perspectives based on my two master degrees and clinical experiences.

My major counseling method is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy including Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, however, I occasionally utilize other effective counseling methods for my clients’ benefits.

I take each client’s situation seriously and do my best to make productive and positive progress with my clients in order to reach our counseling goals.

I believe that each one of us is not only the most important existence in this world, but also is the world itself. We will work together as a team and we can make our world better together.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Yoonkyung is a very sincere person who asks thoughtful questions and provides valuable insight and tips for the situations I have shared with her. She appears to genuinely listen to my concerns and wants to help me grow. I was previously paired with a therapist who was the opposite of helpful, and was quite turned off by therapy/BetterHelp until I had the opportunity to talk to Yoonkyung and really felt like she cared, which has genuinely has a positive impact on my wellbeing. I highly recommend her as a trusted therapist!

She is kind, respectful, warm, considerate and works on a team basis (you and her)rather than leaving you to deal with the issues alone. She is well versed/knowledgeable , helpful, and insightful with her comments, aid, and shares great points/thoughts with you. Definitely an awesome therapist. Even with the three visits I’ve had with her. A good deal of the weight was lifted off my shoulders (I felt like I could breathe) , most of my anxiety feels a bit more manageable . Amongst other positive results. Thank you , Yoonkyung.❤️

The first word that comes to my mind about Ms. Chung is loving… I love her truly as a person because you can just tell she is so kind and only wants the best for you. She is not judging at all, she really just listens to you. And sometimes that’s all someone needs is just to be heard and she makes it known that you are heard and you are loved.

Mrs. Chung is a phenomenal, gentle and empathetic person. She is so passionate and truly gives you the best tools and tips on how to manage your emotional well-being. Whether it's depression, how to handle challenging situations and how to feel better about yourself, she is there for you every step of the way. She has helped me so much after years of feeling worthless and in a big slump. I would recommend anyone to her because she definitely has helped me feel alive again.

I love my counselor, Mrs. Chung. I’ve tried counseling before, and it’s mostly useless if you have a bad counselor. Mrs. Chung is worth her weight in gold. She is so insightful, both about my problems/thoughts/emotions, and also about how to apply counseling methods and approaches to my life. I’ve also read many anger management books before, but nothing beats being able to tell Mrs. Chung my specific problems and having her digest it for me and help me digest it myself. I’m glad I finally started much needed counseling, and my husband too! I truly feel so lucky that Mrs. Chung was assigned to me.

Reviewed April 2021

I can tell she genuinely cares about my goals and is doing everything she can to guide me there. She respects me and I don't feel judged because of my negative emotions/actions.
