Understanding Yourself. Building Confidence. Creating Meaningful Change with Rebecca Choi, LCSW
Rebecca Choi, LCSW
Sometimes you know something isn't working, but you're not quite sure how to change it. You may be overthinking, feeling overwhelmed, struggling with intrusive thoughts, experiencing changes in mood, or having difficulty navigating relationships and life transitions. Therapy can provide a supportive space to slow things down, understand what's happening, and develop practical ways to move forward.
I specialize in working with older adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), adjustment difficulties, trauma and PTSD, grief, relationship and family concerns, and various life stressors and transitions. I also have experience supporting individuals with emotional regulation, perfectionism, executive functioning challenges, and stable schizophrenia-spectrum or other psychotic disorders when appropriate psychiatric care is in place.
As a bilingual English- and Korean-speaking therapist, I value working with culturally diverse individuals, including Korean and Asian/Asian American communities. I understand that navigating more than one language or culture can shape how we understand ourselves, our relationships, and the challenges we face.
I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative, practical, and tailored to the individual. My goal is not simply to help you understand what is happening, but to help you identify realistic steps you can take outside of therapy to create meaningful change.

My Approach to Therapy
I believe therapy should give you both space to process and practical tools you can actually use in everyday life. I use CBT most often, while drawing from other evidence-based strategies depending on your needs, goals, and what makes sense for you.

A Space to Understand, Grow, and Move Forward
Rebecca's goal is to help clients slow things down and make sense of what they are thinking, feeling, and doing. By connecting the dots between these experiences, clients can begin to recognize patterns and understand what may be keeping them stuck.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, changes in mood, relationship challenges, or simply feeling overwhelmed by everything happening around you, therapy can be a place to pause and work through it together.
Rebecca believes therapy should feel useful beyond the session. She incorporates psychoeducation and explains concepts in everyday language, while helping clients develop coping, communication, boundary-setting, problem-solving, and other practical skills they can apply in their daily lives.
