About Doriece
Doriece Choy is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, strength-based therapy. She draws on 13 years of clinical experience to help people cope with anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, aimed at helping clients feel heard and supported from the first sessions.
She uses a mix of approaches that match a person's needs. That can mean working on thoughts and behaviors, noticing attachment patterns, or building emotional skills for intense feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions are centered on small, clear steps that clients can use between meetings. Doriece often helps people dealing with relationship and family struggles, grief, parenting strain, and caregiver stress. She also works with those facing addiction, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and anger.
She addresses issues that overlap, such as codependency, communication problems, and family-of-origin wounds. Her sessions are practical and focused on skill building. Clients can expect to talk through current challenges, try new ways of coping, and track progress over time.
She emphasizes realistic goals and confidence-building strategies. Licensed in Illinois as an LCSW, Doriece offers care in English and welcomes international clients. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice repeating patterns in relationships and try different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with practical skills. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles because it gives clear steps to change what feels stuck.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which combination of methods to use and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers different ways to connect. Video calls let people work face-to-face and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions are a good option when video isn’t needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins, journaling-style notes, and frequent reminders between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
