Corey Leaper, LPC - Therapist in Pennsylvania

About Corey

Corey Leaper is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of mental health issues. He writes clearly and listens closely, helping people name what feels hard and figure out practical next steps. Sessions are aimed at making day-to-day life more manageable and reducing stress that affects relationships and family life.

Corey draws on client-centered therapy to center each person's goals and choices.

Background and approach

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing when those approaches match a client's needs. Therapy is shaped around what is happening now while also addressing past experiences that still cause pain.

He has worked in the mental health field for 11 years and has recent experience supporting people living with serious mood and psychotic spectrum conditions, including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorder. His training includes a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Holy Family University and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Penn State University.

Corey aims to teach practical skills for coping and communication. He helps people develop multiple strategies for handling difficult moments and making better choices. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can handle.

Sessions may include skill practice, problem-solving, and brief experiments to test new ways of responding. The goal is clearer thinking about problems and steadier steps forward in family and parenting roles.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy places the person’s priorities first and focuses on what the client wants to change. It involves listening closely and helping people set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Corey will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses, letting methods change if something else seems more useful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options help fit care into busy routines, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up in the moments when skills need practice. Many people find online formats make it easier to maintain steady progress while balancing family and parenting responsibilities.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
