About Doriece
Doriece Choy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family concerns. She also supports those facing grief, parenting strain, addiction, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and challenges tied to attachment or adoption and foster care.
Her style is practical and strengths-based. Sessions focus on noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviors and trying small, doable changes. She works alongside clients week to week and encourages them to try new responses between sessions.
Doriece uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as one of her primary approaches, alongside attachment-focused and client-centered methods. That means sessions often look at how thoughts affect feelings and actions, and how early relationships shape current patterns. The work is concrete and skill-oriented rather than abstract talk.
She brings 13 years of clinical practice and experience with a broad range of concerns, including family of origin problems, codependency, caregiver stress, eating and substance issues, and communication or control difficulties. She draws on DBT and Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques when they fit the client’s goals.
People who choose her can expect steady, practical steps aimed at changing unhelpful habits and improving daily functioning. She asks about goals, offers clear strategies to try, and reviews progress in ongoing sessions.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on clear links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Online work with CBT typically involves noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them in daily life, and practicing specific skills during and between sessions. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical coping tools.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. In sessions the therapist helps identify repeating relational dynamics and supports developing new interaction patterns that feel more stable and manageable. This can be useful for concerns tied to abandonment, adoption and foster care, and attachment issues.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, discuss which methods fit those goals, and adapt techniques based on progress and preference. Clients and therapist decide together whether to emphasize CBT skills, attachment work, or client-centered exploration.
