More about me

Licensing: LCSW Years in Practice: 7 State: Idaho

I have enjoyed being a therapist for the past 7 years, helping clients with all mental health difficulties. I live a vastly fulfilling life with my family of a wife, 6 kids, 4 cats, and my loving Yorkie named Reggie. I am extensively qualified in using CBT and Gottman couples therapy. I will help you in our sessions to overcome insecurities and develop the skills you need to feel secure, prepared, and proud. You will feel better as a person and learn real solutions for what you need to do. You’ll gain 1) coping tools - including developing better habits, routines, and self care strategies, 2) relationship tools - including improving conversation, being able to comfortably navigate conflict, learning how to avoid relationship-ruining habits, and promoting a more positive perspective, and 3) confidence building tools - including growing a more confident mindset, doing favorite hobbies, performing good mental health activities, and having a future plan for both the short term and long term to live a satisfying, secure life.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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.

Good listener

Wonderful and helpful.

He is amazing. Even when I have been less than responsive he still checks in with me. He truly cares about his patients and will always put the time in for them.

Fantastic therapist. Active listener, thoughtful comments, regular communication and truly cares.

we love David. he is very thoughtful and sees both points of view, and most importantly, does not jump to any conclusions or let people manipulate him

He is very thoughtful and gives very practical and clear advice.

David offers great advice. He is gentle and understanding while not afraid to offer suggestions that may feel out of your comfort zone. I appreciate his advice and would strongly recommend his services.

David is understanding, empathetic, positive, and helpful. He is a wonderful listener and also has some wonderful insight. David responds quickly and makes you feel like you truly matter. His methods are gentle and supportive. He consistently sends thoughtful messages throughout the busy week!

Very supportive

David is a great therapist. He not only listens but asks the right questions to get you on a path think deeper on a subject. He also does a great job with making recommendations without making them feel like an obligation. More of an invitation to practice new skills. I highly recommend David.

David’s been an outstanding therapist. The follow up messages he sends me demonstrate his attentiveness to our conversations and have been extremely valuable in reinforcing the goals and objectives we’ve set in our sessions. I give David my highest recommendation!

David is always positive and supportive and offers me insightful, sound advice on how to handle difficult situations. He also is very responsive to messages and is thorough in reading my journal to keep updated on my daily activities, thoughts, and struggles. If I am unable to attend therapy sessions last minute, he is very understanding and positively supports me in my endeavors. I unequivocally recommend David for anyone needing guidance in their life.

I appreciate his ability to listen and to always have something useful for me to work on or think about.

David is really respectful, kind smart & is one of the best therapists!!!

This man seeing things that u can’t. He listens and actually makes you think. Gives ideas and tangible informant. Thankful for him.

David has been both responsive and thoughtful in his counseling approach. I am very pleased that BetterHelp paired me with David. While I do not expect to require counseling for a long period of time, I certainly expect to keep David’s information ready for when life gets tough and I need an objective sounding board. David Chiddix is 10/10 therapist!

David is a great listener and he communicates that good listening. He asks questions to get me to think about whatever situation is being discussed so solutions can be made. He makes suggestions that are logical and reasonable. His ability to encourage and let you know you matter is exceptional and he is truly a genuine and kind soul who takes his job seriously and does it well.

I have had such a wonderful experience working with David Choffin. He does a great job and I appreciate the time and care he takes to listen and give me suggestions that have helped me so much.

He is doing a great job

I have had two sessions with David, and his approach is exactly what I need now. Very positive, focused on finding practical solutions to my concerns and highlighting my strength and values. David is an excellent choice if you are looking for someone who helps you cope with your endless responsibilities without losing yourself.

Great to talk to about challenges and how to understand and overcome things better, I really appreciate his humble approach, techniques, and uplifting response to helping me with talking in therapy.

David is helping me so much with anxiety and depression. I’m so glad I got paired with him.

Knows what to say , very compassionate, super genuine

He listens well and is attentive

only had 1 session . he is a professional

Thx

I’m my short period of working with David, he has a good understanding of some of the issues I face, and more importantly he knows how to help me the best.

David is very positive in his approach to life's challenges. He sends out a message at the beginning of the week offering encouragement and practical suggestions. He is a thoughtful listener and is supportive of clients who are trying to make the best of their family life. He has a kind, low-key style of communication, and never takes a heavy-handed approach to solving a client's problems.

Good therapist

David has been amazing!! He understands his client's and is able to advise on what to do about different situations. He also provides advice that is conducive to resolving issues clients face. He keeps an even temperament and is able to hone in on things that may not be recognized by clients. He is great to work with.

Fantastic counselor. He has helped me so much with so many aspects of my life. I always come away from our sessions feeling more enlightened.

David has really helped me open up and explore my feelings more. He is very supportive and is interested in what I have to say. I look forward to working more with David!

David has been great to work with long-term. He’s supportive and asks good questions to get the important topics and feelings out of me.

David provides an insightful perspective on every issue. He works with you to start from the bottom up and strengthen yourself so that you can succeed in life. He's a great person to talk to and is good a

David helped me and my husband on issues with our marriage. We have been married for 39 years. He guided us on how to open up our communication with each other and to get back to the basics of why we fell in love with each other. David was a great help to us & are forever grateful for his advice & guidance.

David will support your aims with fine advice and personal anecdotes to motivate your materially and emotionally driven goals

David has been a great help

David has been a literal life saver. I was in a relationship with someone truly toxic and he was supportive in my efforts to save my relationship but was also real with me about the obvious abuse going on. Without him I dont know what I would have done. He is kind and supportive and intuitive and I am so grateful that I was able to connect with him.

Best counselor I've ever had

Dave is a kind individual that truly cares about the lives of his clients. Very knowledgeable and honest with the information he shares.

I’ve only had two video sessions with David so far but I believe he is very good at addressing my concerns and direct enough to point out areas that I need to work on. He is right on time and has a calm friendly demeanor so he’s comfortable to communicate with.

His advice is well structured, to see where you are in life. He extends every tool of self-understanding to aid in recovery. He has helped me understand where I am and where to go.

I really appreciate David's approach and his listening and advice. I also really appreciate the extra worksheets he gives to help me work on things and make our sessions more productive.

David takes the time to really listen. He tries to understand my perspective and helps me understand the perspective of others in my life. He gives useful advice and things to think about between sessions. He helps me remain positive and hopeful through the difficulties I'm facing.

David has been fantastic for me and he has helped me through a very tough time. Unfortunately the app/website has let me down payment wise and skimmed days off when I started so I was unable to say thank you to David before my ‘month’ was up. I am doing well now and things are on the up. David has had a massive impact on my progress and if I feel I need to return to therapy, I will seek David out. I’m sorry I didn’t get chance to say thank you properly and I, and my family, will be forever grateful for the help you have given. All the best David.

David has been excellent. Our sessions often consist of him asking thoughtful/conversational questions (I can be shy so it helps to open things up) and then I’m able to confide what’s been going on in my life and recovery. When David chimes in, he offers commentary to address not only what I’m saying but also the underlying issue where I need support - which is perfect since it’s these underlying issues that are causing my daily symptoms. Only a couple sessions so far but I feel supported.

I was skeptical about therapy but I feel taking therapy was a good decision. That was the best decision I feel. I am feeling positive after discussion with David. He is a good listener and very helpful when it comes to therapy.

David takes time to listen to my concerns. He offers support and thought-provoking advice that clicks and connects with my everyday life. I think he is helping me to become my best self. I am really grateful for and look forward to the weekly conversations I have with David.

Working with David has been wonderful. He is knowledgeable, understanding, and has some great tools to share and help others implement. Thanks David!

David has helped me so far through some challenging times and although there is still work to do I am seeing progress and will continue to progress with Davids guidance

David had been extremely helpful in the short amount of time we have been talking. He is very good about giving practical advice and things to try! He keeps me focused on the issues I am dealing with and offers nice insight on random daily things. He is very understanding and wants to do what works best for you!

He is very attentive
