Her approach to therapy focuses on imparting skills, such as emotional regulation, effective ways of thinking, positive parenting, problem solving, effective communication, and other coping skills. She also believes that people are unique and aiding their journey to emotional wellbeing necessitates an approach that is individualized to their needs. Choe uses a variety of therapeutic approaches including cognitive behavioural treatment, schema therapy, mindfulness and psychodynamic therapy.
