About Doriece

Doriece Choy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois with 13 years as a therapist. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and relationship or family problems.

Her style is realistic and strengths-based. She works alongside clients to explore thoughts and feelings week to week. The focus is on building confidence and practical habits rather than quick fixes.

Doriece draws on client-centered and attachment-based ideas to help people notice patterns in relationships and reactions. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and DBT strategies to build skills for emotion regulation.

In sessions she prioritizes being heard and understood before moving to change. Conversations tend to be straightforward and practical. Clients set goals and try specific steps between meetings.

She has experience supporting people through loss, caregiving stress, addiction concerns, and difficult life transitions. Other areas she addresses include abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, eating and food-related issues, and co-morbid mental health concerns.

Doriece accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

Approaches used online and how they help

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. It helps people understand why certain interactions trigger strong emotions and how to form steadier responses. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the client's own goals. It creates space to talk through feelings and decide what changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that feed anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Doriece will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than prescribing a single path from the start.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also let clients use quieter surroundings, rely on phone audio if bandwidth is limited, or choose a session length that matches a work break. Licensed professionals aim to match format and pacing to everyday life and responsibilities.
