About Corey
Corey Iams is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker practicing in Michigan with four years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Corey also focuses on caregiver stress, control issues, substance use concerns, guilt and shame, impulsivity, men’s issues, and mood disorders.
Corey uses straightforward conversation as the basis for his work. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. He listens, reflects what matters to the person, and helps identify small, practical steps to try between meetings. That might mean testing a new way to respond to anger, changing a routine that feeds stress, or building skills to manage cravings and strong emotions.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to link thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to develop concrete coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is ambivalent about change, especially around substance use or other repeated patterns.
Corey frames progress as gradual and measurable rather than instant. He talks through setbacks and what to adjust next. His style is direct and practical, focused on tools that fit everyday life and responsibilities.
If someone is ready to start, Corey asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
