About Corey

Corey Leaper is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and challenges tied to mood disorders. He brings 11 years of experience and aims to create a straightforward space where clients can talk through what is happening now and find practical ways to cope.

His work centers on the person's needs in the room. Sessions focus on current problems while also addressing past experiences that keep causing trouble. Corey emphasizes collaboration so people leave with clear strategies they can try between meetings.

Corey trained in psychology at Penn State University and completed a master’s degree in counseling psychology at Holy Family University. He holds an LPC, which means he practices as a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania.

He uses a mix of methods rather than a single approach. That flexibility lets him match tools to issues like anger, panic attacks, addictions, grief, and role changes at work or home. The goal is to build practical skills and new ways of seeing ongoing problems.

People can expect a calm, direct style that prioritizes their goals. Corey encourages small experiments and measurable steps so progress is visible. He also supports people working through life transitions, communication problems, isolation, and questions about purpose.

How Corey’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy invites the person to lead the conversation and set the goals. The therapist follows the client’s priorities and helps turn those goals into practical steps. This approach is useful when someone wants a collaborative process and clear direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, anger, panic, and low mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication skills. It can be helpful for managing intense emotions and reducing reactive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Corey will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to use and when to shift focus.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with Corey about how to structure sessions to fit your schedule and goals.
