About Doriece
Doriece Choy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois with 13 years as a therapist. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family struggles, grief, parenting strain, anger, and coping with major life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Doriece uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches. She favors realistic, strengths-based work and focuses on building confidence. In sessions she encourages people to name and sit with difficult emotions so patterns can be noticed and understood.
Her style is collaborative. She works alongside clients so they can explore thoughts and feelings week to week. That process supports developing new habits for handling stress, communication problems, codependency, control issues, and family of origin concerns.
Doriece draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when they fit a person’s goals. Those methods are used to develop coping skills for anger, substance concerns, eating-related issues, and mood regulation challenges such as bipolar or disruptive mood dysregulation concerns.
She also addresses attachment-related topics like abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, and relationship patterns connected to attachment wounds. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, attention to emotional experience, and step-by-step skill work when needed.
How Doriece uses EFT and related approaches online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with emotions that shape close relationships and personal patterns. It helps people name feelings, track interactions, and shift responses that keep problems stuck.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence present relationships and behavior. It helps people understand attachment patterns that can underlie anxiety, abandonment concerns, or family conflict.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, non-directive stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-exploration. This approach suits people who want to work through feelings at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Doriece will help clients choose what fits best by talking about goals, life circumstances, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques from EFT, attachment work, CBT, or DBT skills and checking in about what helps.
