Doriece Choy

Doriece Choy is a licensed clinical social worker who brings a practical, strengths-focused approach to therapy. She uses clear, realistic methods to help people build confidence and find hope in hard situations. Doriece aims to create a space where clients feel heard and understood from week to week.

She draws on approaches such as attachment work, client-centered techniques, and cognitive behavioral strategies to address stress, anxiety, and anger. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, testing new ways of coping, and practicing skills that fit daily life. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

With 13 years as a therapist and a total of two decades in social work roles, Doriece has supported people through trauma, grief, addictions, and mood challenges. She also helps with family-of-origin issues, parenting strain, and caregiver stress. Her experience includes helping people manage ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and co-occurring concerns.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She invites clients to explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace while offering practical tools for change. Communication skills, emotional regulation, and relationship patterns are common topics in sessions.

Doriece is licensed as an LCSW in Illinois and works in English. International clients may be accepted; confirm options when starting. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions. It focuses on strengthening connections and making sense of how attachment shows up in conflict or anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at everyday thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience; the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s priorities while offering support and reflection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Doriece will discuss goals and preferences and partner with each person to choose methods that fit their needs. That collaboration helps shape session focus and which techniques are used over time.

Session format options are not listed here, so confirm available formats before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy life. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed, or let people choose a quieter time of day and avoid travel. Licensed professionals can adapt the same attachment, client-centered, and CBT tools to work effectively in virtual settings.
