Hello, my name is Dori Choy and am a licensed clinical social worker. I have been in the social work field for 20 years, have been a therapist for the past 12 years. My approach is realistic, strengths based and confidence building. I believe that there is value in every life and that hope can be found in any situation. My preference is to work alongside my clients, allowing them to explore their own thoughts and feelings week to week. Feeling heard, supported and understood is the foundation needed to build healthy habits and work through difficult seasons in life.

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.

Overall rating:
Very attentive and resourceful. Always had insightful feedback and is a great listener.
She was fantastic! Really listened to me and my concerns. She was very relatable. Gave me different ways of thinking about things.
Awesome therapists.
Dori listens and is great at her job!
Dori makes me feel relaxed and comfortable, something I didn't get from the first 3 therapists I tried here. She is laid back but also very competent. She is able to schedule appointments outside her normal schedule to accommodate me. I also feel like she has personal experience with some of the difficulties I'm having; I think she is a great fit for me.
Dori is great at hearing me and providing perspective. She explains things very well and helps me understand when I don't comprehend terminology. She also has many wonderful examples and homework, but never pushes me to do it and reminds me it's ok if I don't get to it. She is very understanding and u really appreciate her!
Dori has been an excellent therapist and a great fit right from the beginning. She is thoughtful and able to meet me where I am emotionally week-to-week, whether that's with humor or in sadness. I've been able to tackle both significant challenges with relationships as well as a better understanding of my anxiety disorder. Couldn't recommend Dori enough!
Dori has given me many helpful tools to help me navigate the craziness that is my life right now. Knowing I can depend on her and our weekly meetings helps keep me balanced during the week. I'm really grateful to have found her through betterhelp.
Dories e is so intuitive which really makes her a good therapist. She shares personal experiences and that makes her relatable. When I need to message during the week, she gets right back to me and I like being paired with her.
Extremely helpful in processing childhood trauma and making sense of the emotional and physical effects of this as an adult. So thankful to have found Doriece!
