Kyong Choi is a California-licensed therapist with 15 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she brings training in relational and systemic approaches to clinical concerns while tailoring care to each person’s unique circumstances.

She focuses on creating an open, judgment-free space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored. Kyong works collaboratively with clients to identify patterns that contribute to distress, build practical coping skills, and strengthen communication within relationships. Her practice addresses related issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, guilt and shame, panic attacks, and workplace stress.

Kicking off therapy can feel like a significant step, and Kyong acknowledges the courage it takes to begin. She aims to meet people where they are, offering supportive guidance as they set goals, process difficult experiences, and pursue greater clarity and well-being.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Stress, Trauma, and Relationships

Kyong Choi draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, relationship challenges, and grief. One approach uses skill-building and structured work to identify unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviors and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms such as panic, worry, or low mood. Another approach focuses on processing difficult experiences and strengthening emotional regulation and interpersonal connection, which can be helpful for trauma, attachment issues, and relationship conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kyong partners with each person to assess needs, set goals, and select techniques that fit their preferences and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Kyong is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care from many locations and to access timely support when challenges arise.
