About Corrie
Corrie Short is a Washington-licensed mental health counselor with 13 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, parenting concerns, depression, and life transitions. Her tone is straightforward and encouraging to someone thinking about therapy for the first time.
Corrie creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through feelings and problems. She aims to listen first and respond in ways that fit each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be conversational and focused on what feels most urgent to the client. Her work draws from client-centered therapy, which emphasizes understanding the person’s perspective and building on their strengths. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find reasons and momentum for change.
These approaches are gentle but practical, useful for challenges like addictions, communication problems, or low mood. Corrie often helps people untangle patterns around guilt, control, and codependency, and she addresses issues such as body image, impulsivity, and isolation. She responds to concerns about process addictions and substance use with attention to motivation and manageable steps forward.
Sessions are offered in English and take place under her Washington LMHC credential. She encourages anyone starting therapy to take the first small step and complete the short matching questionnaire to find a good fit.
Approaches and online options for practical change
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding a person's experience and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. It helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings and decide what matters most to them. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused way to uncover motivation for change and break larger goals into doable steps. It can be helpful for addiction-related concerns, coping with impulses, or making other behavior changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Corrie will listen to what matters to the client and suggest which methods to try. Together they decide what feels most useful based on the client’s goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers several practical options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, return to themes between sessions with messaging, or choose the communication style that feels safest. The variety of formats supports consistent follow-through and helps therapy stay flexible around everyday life.
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.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
