About Korey

Korey Puckett is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW-C) in Maryland and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in the District of Columbia with 20 years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, motivation problems, and life transitions. Korey focuses on practical skills and clearer thinking rather than long lectures about feelings.

Korey uses solution-focused work to identify small, achievable steps clients can take. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts and actions keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing is part of his approach when clients want help changing habits or dealing with addictions.

Sessions begin with a short overview of current problems and recent history. From that, Korey and the client map out goals and first steps. He often helps people name and express feelings they have kept inside, then practices new ways to respond in day-to-day situations.

He offers evening and weekend appointments to fit work and family schedules. Korey has spoken about relationship topics on rocktheflow.com radio and brings that practical conversation style into sessions. He frames work as a mix of talking, skill practice, and planning.

During the first visit Korey gathers background and starts a treatment plan. Payment uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies with location. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.

How Korey uses practical approaches in online sessions

Online work with Korey often applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on brief, actionable steps and building on what already works for a person. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients want to change habits such as addiction or low motivation. It involves asking focused questions, clarifying goals, and supporting the client’s own reasons for change rather than pushing advice. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Korey will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He starts by learning current concerns, then suggests steps and techniques to try. Progress is revisited and plans are adjusted together. Confirm the session formats Korey currently offers before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, or reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help maintain consistency while working on managing anger and related issues.
