Doriece Choy is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside practical, person-centered methods. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and addiction concerns. Her style aims to build confidence and draw on each person’s strengths. Doriece encourages people to be heard and understood as they begin work on change.

Doriece brings 13 years of clinical experience to sessions and has a long background in social work. She prefers to work alongside clients, helping them notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Sessions often focus on small, concrete steps that reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.

Her approach draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Those methods are used to address relationship struggles, parenting strain, grief, compassion fatigue, and family of origin issues. She also helps with ADHD, bipolar concerns, and emotion regulation challenges.

People who come for help can expect a respectful, steady presence and a focus on practical skills. Doriece emphasizes building healthy habits, clearer communication, and stronger self-esteem. She helps people work through abandonment issues, adoption and foster care questions, codependency, and substance use problems.

Doriece practices in Illinois and conducts sessions in English. International clients may be seen. To begin, readers are encouraged to complete the Start Therapy steps and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process past harmful experiences and reduce their grip on daily life. It often involves gently addressing memories, tracking triggers, and building new coping steps so trauma affects day-to-day functioning less.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current connection and trust. It can help people who struggle with closeness, abandonment fears, or repeated relationship patterns by focusing on emotional safety and clearer communication.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Doriece works with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort. She will discuss options and adjust plans as therapy unfolds so sessions feel useful and relevant.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during a work break or between appointments. It can also make it simpler to maintain regular contact while managing caregiving or work demands. Licensed professionals can adapt Trauma-Focused and Attachment-Based methods to virtual work, focusing on practical coping tools, communication skills, and steady progress rather than promising any specific outcome.
