Kyong Choi , LMFT

Kyong Choi is a California-licensed therapist with 15 years of professional experience who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and grief. As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she brings clinical training focused on family and relational dynamics to each session, helping clients explore how patterns of connection affect mood and behavior.

She works collaboratively to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed honestly. Her approach emphasizes practical tools and empathetic listening so clients can better manage symptoms, repair relationships, and process painful experiences at a pace that feels right.

Kyong values the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to make that first step feel respected and supported. Whether someone seeks relief from panic and social anxiety, help navigating loss, or improved communication and attachment in relationships, she combines experience and evidence-informed techniques to guide clients toward clearer insight and greater emotional balance.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Kyong Choi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs. One common focus is skills-based work that teaches practical strategies for managing anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms - these tools help with day-to-day distress and improving emotional regulation. She also integrates trauma-sensitive methods that support processing past harm and coping with grief, allowing clients to work through painful memories while building resilience.

Choosing the best therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Kyong partners with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and together they determine which techniques will be most helpful. Adjustments are made over time so the work remains aligned with the client’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with a licensed professional like Kyong. Video calls allow face-to-face connection from home, phone sessions provide an accessible audio option, and live chat or text messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats increase convenience and make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life.
