About Corina
Corina Istanich is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 10 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, substance problems, grief, depression, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Corina learned counseling in a Christian university setting and says her faith influences how she practices. She prefers video sessions because seeing one another helps her notice important cues, though she can use phone or live chat when video is not possible. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Her primary method is cognitive behavioral therapy, and she also borrows techniques from client-centered work, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused approaches when helpful. In practical terms she focuses on building a direct, honest relationship, teaching coping skills, and practicing clearer communication and boundaries.
Corina has worked extensively in addiction treatment settings and has provided outpatient and in-home therapy through community agencies. That background informs how she works with drug and alcohol issues and related communication or family difficulties. She aims to help people find concrete steps forward rather than offering abstract promises.

How Corina uses evidence-based approaches in online sessions
Corina commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anger and anxiety. DBT offers practical skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help when frustration spikes in relationships. She also draws from client-centered methods to build a straightforward working relationship and from motivational interviewing when people are making changes around substance use. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is part of the collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before to find the best fit. Corina prefers video sessions because visual cues make it easier to notice what is happening during conversations, but she can use phone or live chat when video is unavailable. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking so you know what to expect. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a work break, reduce travel time, and allow repeated brief check-ins when schedules are tight.Areas of expertise
