About Me
My name is Kelvin Tung, and I am a licensed counselor in Texas with over five years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working in a variety of settings, including attentive outpatient programs, hospital environments, and outpatient substance abuse treatment centers. This diverse experience has equipped me with a broad understanding of mental health challenges and the various approaches to support individuals on their journeys to healing.
Counseling Approach
My counseling style is relaxed and approachable, creating a welcoming atmosphere where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves. Clients have described me as supportive, caring, and compassionate. My therapeutic approach is grounded in humanistic principles, emphasizing personal growth and self-actualization. This approach prioritizes your unique experiences and recognizes your inherent capacity to make positive choices.
In addition to that, I incorporate techniques from various approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies. I have found that these techniques can be particularly beneficial in addressing different situations and challenges.
As your therapist, my role is to assist you in discovering your own answers to the difficulties you face. I believe strongly in the power of the therapeutic relationship and strive to build trust and rapport with each individual I work with. Together, we will identify and harness your strengths, empowering you to overcome obstacles and navigate life’s challenges.
What to Expect
In our sessions, my goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly explore the difficulties you’re facing. I am here to listen and help you sort through your thoughts and feelings, fostering an environment of honesty and vulnerability. Together, we will work collaboratively to identify strategies and solutions that resonate with you, allowing you to move forward with confidence.
I am committed to supporting you in achieving your personal growth and wellness goals. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or other life challenges, I am here to guide you on your path to healing.
I look forward to the opportunity to work together and support you on your journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
