Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Corey often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday stressors. He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when strong emotions or relationship conflict are central concerns. Client-centered methods are woven in to ensure the client's goals and experience guide the work.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Corey will work with each person to clarify goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust methods over time so therapy remains relevant and goal-focused.

Online therapy with Corey is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and to practice skills in real-world contexts while meeting remotely.
