About Doriece
Doriece Choy is a licensed clinical social worker who uses a practical, strengths-focused approach. She emphasizes building confidence and helping people find hope in difficult moments. Doriece aims to make sessions feel like a calm place to sort through immediate problems and plan small, doable steps forward.
Her style centers on listening first and then working alongside each person. She helps clients notice their strengths and use them to manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and relationship strains.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational, with concrete tools and simple practice between meetings. Doriece has 13 years of experience as a therapist and has worked in social work for longer. That background supports work with issues such as trauma and abuse, depression, addiction concerns, grief, and caregiving stress.
ADHD and attention difficulties are included among the concerns she addresses. She also helps people with family of origin issues, communication problems, abandonment or attachment concerns, and the effects of co-morbidity or disruptive mood patterns. Doriece uses familiar methods to help people change thoughts and behaviors and to strengthen emotional connection where it matters.
People can expect straightforward explanations of techniques and a focus on what to try between sessions. Doriece prefers collaborating week to week so clients can track progress and adjust goals. Her aim is steady, manageable change rather than sudden fixes.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships. Online sessions with this focus help people notice patterns in how they relate to others and practice new ways of communicating and trusting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; online CBT provides structure for identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills that are easy to practice and review via messaging or video.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals, try different methods, and adjust based on what helps most. That way sessions match a person's needs and preferences rather than sticking to a single plan.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face to face when a longer conversation is needed, while phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, coaching, and skill practice between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum between meetings.
