About Corey

Corey Tolliver centers his practice on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using structured, practical strategies to help clients understand and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns.

Background and approach

As a Virginia-licensed LCSW with four years of clinical experience, he focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and compassion fatigue while also addressing isolation, men's issues, and the development of self-love. He brings an approach that balances evidence-based techniques with compassionate support.

Corey aims to create an affirming, respectful environment where people can explore emotional challenges and build concrete coping skills. He emphasizes collaborative work that helps clients recognize patterns, practice new responses, and strengthen resilience over time.

Sessions combine skill-building, problem-solving, and opportunities to cultivate greater self-compassion and healthier habits. Practical considerations are part of his offering: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging are available, and sessions are scheduled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Corey works in English and holds LCSW licensure in Virginia and Texas as listed, practicing from Virginia.

CBT-informed care delivered online

Corey integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into his online practice, offering clear, goal-oriented techniques that help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often used to address issues like anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem by teaching practical skills such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and problem-solving strategies.

His work emphasizes building self-compassion and reducing isolation through structured skill development and collaborative planning. Throughout the process he partners with clients to determine which methods resonate and to adapt strategies based on each person's goals and preferences, creating a tailored approach rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and fit varied schedules. These formats allow for ongoing skill practice between meetings and make it easier to maintain regular appointments while balancing work, family, or other responsibilities.
