Approaches Corey names

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

CBT and practical online support for everyday struggles

Corey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT often focuses on specific situations, teaches simple skills, and gives short exercises to practice between sessions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and low self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Corey will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. He adapts techniques over time based on what is working and what isn't, so the plan evolves with the person.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for fuller conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or an option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short updates, refining skills in the moment, or people who prefer not to use video. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and day-to-day constraints, while still focusing on practical skill-building and progress.
