About Doriece
Doriece Choy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois with 13 years of experience as a therapist. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting concerns, anger, bipolar challenges, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Doriece also focuses on abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, caregiver stress, co-morbidity, codependency, and related concerns.
She uses a realistic, strengths-based style that aims to build confidence. Sessions are collaborative and centered on what the client brings week to week. The goal is to help people talk through feelings, practice new ways of responding, and develop healthier patterns over time.
Doriece blends relational work with practical strategies. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect present behavior. She also uses cognitive-behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop alternative responses. Dialectical and emotion-focused techniques appear when clients need emotion regulation or clearer communication skills.
In sessions she pays attention to how relationships and family history show up now. That can mean addressing family of origin issues, codependent patterns, or the stress of caregiving. She supports people dealing with addiction, eating-related issues, and the ripple effects of mood disorders.
Doriece welcomes clients who prefer straightforward, week-to-week work. She encourages people to notice small changes and build on them. If someone wants to begin, they complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the approach fits their needs.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns. Online sessions can be used to notice relationship responses and practice different ways of connecting or setting boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying out new behaviors. In an online session clients can learn thought-tracking and practical exercises to reduce anxiety or improve mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape what is practiced between sessions and which skills are emphasized.
The biography does not list session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing transit time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it simpler to schedule sessions around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals often use the same clinical tools online as they do in person, adapting exercises to the session length and the client’s routine.
