About Korey

He trained in psychology and social work and brings practical skills to conversations about stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and parenting.

Background and approach

Korey uses straightforward methods that aim to make daily life more manageable. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented rather than overly academic. His approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening.

He also uses solution-focused methods and motivational interviewing to help people set realistic goals and take small steps. That mix is useful for coping with change, improving communication, and managing strong emotions. Korey pays attention to practical concerns that parents and caregivers often bring up.

He has additional experience with adoption-related topics and blended family issues. This background informs how he talks about attachment, separation, and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered in English and can take place online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Korey aims to match therapeutic tools to what each person needs, keeping the plan simple and attainable.

How Korey’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and making the session about what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through parenting stress, grief, or life changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. This approach is useful for anxiety, mood instability, and managing strong emotions.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and on what’s already working. It’s helpful for people who want short-term, practical changes and clearer next steps.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Korey will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than sticking to a single technique.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit conversations into busy family schedules and to keep progress moving even when in-person meetings are difficult.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
