About Corrie
Corrie Gerster is an Ohio-based mental health professional with 11 years of clinical experience. She holds an LPCC, which stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and has worked across schools, homes, community programs, residential settings, and independent practice. Corrie has focused much of her recent work on supporting survivors of human trafficking for the past seven years.
Her day-to-day style is straightforward and practical. She creates a calm space where people can talk about painful events and difficult feelings without judgment.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on steady skills building and problem solving tailored to each person’s goals. Corrie often uses cognitive behavioral therapy skills to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when learning emotional regulation and coping strategies is a priority.
Client-centered listening and brief solution-focused strategies are woven into sessions as needed. She has experience addressing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and parenting concerns. Corrie also works with issues such as intimacy challenges, codependency, attachment wounds, and non-traditional relationship dynamics.
Her approach aims to help people feel steadier day to day and more confident making changes. She encourages small, achievable steps and gives concrete tools to practice between sessions. Taking that first step into therapy is often the beginning of clearer thinking and better coping.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Corrie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. She also implements dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for handling intense feelings and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Corrie works with each person to decide which techniques match their goals and current needs, and she adjusts methods as progress is made. The work is paced to what the client can try and use between sessions.
Online therapy with Corrie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, practice skills between meetings, and get support when transitions or crises arise. The format aims to increase flexibility so therapy can fit into busy family and work lives.
