Background and approach
Corey has worked in the mental health field since 2007, giving him a broad view of how different problems show up in everyday life. He has provided therapy for five years and draws on that hands-on experience when meeting with people. Corey’s approach is down-to-earth.
He listens first to what matters most to the person in front of him, then works on simple, practical steps. Sessions often focus on problem solving, building routines, and finding ways to reduce overwhelming feelings so people can function better at home, work, or school.
He has a history of working with adults and children in settings that include intellectual and developmental disabilities, mental health, and substance use. That background informs his pace and the language he uses in sessions so that goals feel achievable. Corey aims to help people pursue their goals, make choices, and interact with dignity and respect.
He welcomes conversations about daily coping, behavior changes, and planning next steps toward a more manageable life.
Approach-driven online care that fits your schedule
Corey draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage everyday challenges. One common approach focuses on building routines and practical skills to reduce overwhelm and improve functioning; this is useful for stress, sleep problems, ADHD-related difficulties, and daily organization. Another approach emphasizes problem solving and coping strategies to address anxiety, mood changes, and substance use concerns; sessions break larger problems into manageable steps and experiments.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Corey listens to each person’s goals and preferences, then adjusts methods as progress is tracked. He works with clients to try techniques, review what helps, and change course when needed so therapy fits real life and real schedules.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls let you work face-to-face from anywhere with sufficient bandwidth. Phone sessions can be easier when movement or low bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill coaching, or when typed communication feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while keeping care consistent and goal focused.
