Corina Istanich

Corina Istanich is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and addiction-related struggles. She writes plainly and meets clients where they are, focusing on practical steps and everyday skills. Corina works in both English and Spanish and draws on a decade of experience in counseling settings.

Corina trained at Palm Beach Atlantic University for both undergraduate and graduate studies. Her faith has influenced how she practices and she brings that outlook into sessions when it fits a client's values. She spent much of her career in an in-patient addictions center and later provided outpatient and in-home services with community agencies.

Her main clinical approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and she often borrows techniques from other methods to suit each person's needs. Sessions emphasize building a straightforward, honest relationship where compassion and direct feedback coexist. Corina emphasizes coping skills, boundary-setting, and clearer communication to improve daily life and relationships.

People who work with her can expect a focus on solutions and skill-building. She prefers video sessions so she can read facial cues, but she is open to phone or live chat when video is not possible. Corina aims to help clients find concrete ways to reduce anger, manage stress, and move forward after setbacks.

She encourages anyone curious about therapy to reach out, complete the matching questionnaire, and schedule a time to begin working on the changes they want to make.

How Corina uses proven approaches in online care

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experiences. It means sessions focus on listening, empathy, and following the client's pace so they feel heard and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical tools to change them; it is often used for anger, anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be helpful when anger or intense emotions cause problems.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. Corina will talk with clients about goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what works. That collaborative process helps match skills and techniques to a person's life and concerns.

Corina prefers video sessions so she can see facial cues and nonverbal signals, but she is open to phone or live chat when video is not available. If you are unsure which session types are available, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can build skills without rearranging their whole schedule.
