How his approaches translate to online work
Corey draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in ways that fit well with remote sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical exercises, which can be done through discussion and homework between meetings. Mindfulness therapy teaches brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and help manage anger and anxiety in daily life. He also uses client-centered principles to shape online work. That means deciding together which approaches to try based on the client’s goals and preferences. The therapist and client review what helps, adjust techniques, and set realistic steps to practice between sessions. Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit work on communication skills, problem-solving, and emotional regulation into a busy week. Online meetings can allow for shorter check-ins, consistent follow-ups, and the ability to try home-based exercises with therapist guidance.Areas of expertise
