About Corey

Corey Hinson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in North Carolina who helps people navigate relationship struggles, family conflict, career transitions, stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, addictions, and questions around intimacy and parenting.

Background and approach

With 12 years of clinical experience, she focuses on identifying underlying patterns such as attachment concerns, communication problems, codependency, and issues that surface during divorce or blended-family transitions. Her work also addresses self-esteem, anger, depression, impulsivity, and life-purpose questions.

Corey aims to create a respectful, collaborative space where clients can explore the roots of their difficulties and develop practical strategies that fit their values and daily life. She listens closely, asks targeted questions, and offers tools and skills when they support progress.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered, emotionally focused, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques, tailored to each person’s goals. Clients can expect a practical, strengths-based focus that balances emotional processing with skill-building.

Corey supports people in setting clear steps forward and increasing confidence in decision-making, whether the work is about rebuilding relationships, coping with major change, addressing addictive patterns, or finding renewed direction.

Telehealth Approaches and Practical Support

Corey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help clients explore and shift patterns in important relationships by focusing on emotions and attachment needs. Client-Centered Therapy is another pillar of her work, emphasizing empathetic listening and partnership so clients feel heard and can guide the pace and priorities of the work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Corey discusses goals and preferences with each client, experimenting with techniques and blending methods as needed until a workable plan emerges that aligns with the person’s needs and values.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow people to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care during life transitions, and use different modes of communication depending on preference and circumstance. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions across these formats to provide both skill-building and emotional processing in ways that suit each client.
