About Doriece

Doriece Choy, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings a realistic, strengths-based approach that emphasizes building confidence and practical progress. With 13 years of experience as a therapist, she approaches each person with the belief that every life has value and that sources of hope can be found even in difficult circumstances.

She prefers to work alongside clients, guiding them to explore their thoughts and feelings from week to week rather than prescribing quick fixes. Creating a space where people feel heard, supported, and understood is central to her work and serves as the foundation for developing healthier habits and navigating challenging seasons of life.

Her style is collaborative and grounded in real-world strategies that help clients identify strengths, increase self-assurance, and move forward at a sustainable pace. Prospective clients can expect a steady, empathetic presence focused on practical growth and lasting change.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional patterns. In online sessions this approach helps clients explore attachment styles, repair relational wounds, and build more secure ways of connecting with others.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's own goals and perspective. The therapist offers empathic listening and support while clients lead the pace and focus of sessions, making it useful for people seeking a collaborative, nonjudgmental space to process life challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-oriented approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Delivered online, CBT provides practical tools for managing anxiety, improving mood, and developing effective coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Doriece Choy collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, enabling consistent support around busy schedules and across locations. For many people, virtual sessions make it easier to maintain momentum and integrate therapeutic learning into daily life.
