Eunjoo Lee-Choi, LPC

Eunjoo Lee-Choi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with four years of practice helping people through hard patches in life. She creates a warm, respectful space where clients can talk about what matters to them. She tries to make starting therapy feel simple and humane for anyone who is nervous about the first step.

Her work focuses on practical problems like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. She also helps people who are dealing with communication problems, immigration issues, and building self-love. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change.

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, client-centered methods, and mindfulness tools. In practice this means noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, learning emotional skills, and practicing present-moment awareness. The mix is tailored to each person’s needs and goals.

Eunjoo emphasizes collaboration and respect. She listens first, then works with clients to set clear steps and small goals. Progress is measured in manageable changes rather than grand promises.

She offers sessions in English and Korean and provides therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their timing.

How these approaches translate to online sessions

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Online sessions can include thought records, behavioral experiments, and short at-home exercises discussed during appointments.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice internal experiences without getting stuck and clarify values to guide action. When used online ACT often combines brief mindfulness practices with goal-setting and values-based homework that can be tracked between sessions.

Client-centered work emphasizes listening and building a trusting connection. In teletherapy this means the therapist offers empathic reflection and creates room for clients to set the pace and priorities of each session.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans together based on what feels most useful. That way therapy stays aligned with each person’s needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers audio only. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing skill practice, and flexible communication between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
