How his approaches translate to online work

Corey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in ways that fit online sessions. CBT breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into steps, and teaches small, practical exercises people can try between meetings. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore what matters most and to build the drive for change without pressure.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Corey will talk with each person about goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. He adjusts pace and techniques as progress and needs become clearer, keeping the client involved in planning next steps.

The main practical benefit of online therapy is making sessions easier to fit into busy days. Confirm the specific session options before booking, since formats are not detailed in the biography. Online work can reduce commute time, allow quicker check-ins, and help people practice skills in their everyday routines without needing a long break from work or family responsibilities.
