How Korey’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy puts a person’s goals and experiences at the center of sessions. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps shape goals based on what matters most to the client. This approach is useful for people who want a flexible pace and to feel heard.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Korey uses CBT tools to help people test difficult thoughts and try small behavior changes. This can help with anxiety, anger, mood swings, and stress management.

Solution-focused therapy focuses on small, practical steps and what is already working. Sessions often build a short list of next actions so clients can see progress between meetings. Motivational interviewing may be used when someone wants help finding reasons to change or to build commitment to goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Korey works collaboratively to decide which methods to try based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts strategies as progress is made and as priorities shift.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. The therapist’s profile notes international clients are accepted, but specific session formats should be checked when you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can work on goals between responsibilities.
