About Doriece

Doriece Choy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois.

She aims to create a calm, steady space where people can feel heard and begin to make small, practical changes.

Doriece likes to work alongside people so they can test new ways of coping and notice what helps. She has worked with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, addictions, grief, parenting strain, anger, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, family of origin problems, codependency, and communication difficulties.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Gottman Method work focuses on patterns in relationships and practical skills for communication and conflict. Online sessions can look at recurring interaction cycles, teach calming strategies, and practice new ways of talking and listening in real time.

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early connection shapes current reactions and closeness. In an online session this means naming those patterns, rehearsing different responses, and building a stronger sense of security with steady guidance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete steps to change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Through video or messaging, Doriece can introduce simple exercises, track progress between sessions, and adjust techniques based on what works.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and personal style to decide which methods to use. That process is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let you use visual cues for skill practice. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and step-by-step coaching possible between appointments. These options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
