Background and approach
She also helps people facing family-of-origin problems, abandonment wounds, attachment issues, and the strain of parenting. She listens first, then helps clients choose tools that fit their life. In sessions she blends client-centered care with cognitive and emotion-focused techniques.
That means she follows the client’s lead, and also suggests concrete skills for managing emotions, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and improving communication. She supports changes at a pace that feels manageable for each person. Doriece has worked across settings and brings experience helping people cope with complex and overlapping difficulties.
Her approach emphasizes small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. She helps clients set realistic goals and practice new responses to familiar triggers. People who meet with Doriece can expect a collaborative partnership aimed at reducing distress and increasing day-to-day functioning.
She accepts clients in Illinois and works with international clients by offering sessions in English.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early bonds affect current relationships and reactions. Online sessions can use this approach to notice patterns, name needs, and practice different ways of connecting with others.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s lead. In remote work this means the therapist reflects what the person shares and helps them find their own solutions, whether the session is a video call or a quick text check-in.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. It pairs well with online formats for homework, brief skills practice between sessions, and step-by-step progress tracking.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. Together they decide what to try first and adjust over time based on what helps.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and learning skills on camera. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat or text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new habits between sessions.
