About Doriece
Doriece Choy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 13 years as a therapist. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, anger, bipolar, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
She uses direct, strengths-based methods to help people build practical confidence. She invites clients to examine thoughts and feelings week to week and to try small, manageable changes. Conversations focus on everyday challenges like work strain, parenting pressures, grief, and managing mood or substance concerns.
Dori draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections affect current relationships. She also uses client-centered listening so people can set the pace and priorities in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
She brings elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when problems involve strong emotions, intense conflict, or repeating relationship patterns. Those methods offer skills for emotion regulation and clearer communication. Treatment plans aim to include concrete skills, homework when useful, and realistic next steps for day-to-day life.
Practical matters such as caregiver stress, addiction recovery, attachment wounds, adoption and foster care issues, and family-of-origin patterns are part of the work she addresses. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current behavior. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and practice new ways of connecting and communicating over time. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration so the client guides the pace and topics; this approach fits well with regular online check-ins and step-by-step problem solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, with easy-to-use homework and skill practice between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the client's goals, day-to-day needs, and preferences. That discussion is ongoing and can be adjusted as progress and circumstances change.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoid travel time. It also supports practicing skills in the setting where problems occur, such as trying new communication techniques at home and reporting back in the next session.
