About Corey
Corey Cunningham is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois who focuses on anxiety and related concerns. Corey brings a calm, accepting presence and practical support for people facing stress, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, ADHD, relationship strain, and life transitions. Corey approaches sessions from a strength-based, client-centered viewpoint.
Conversations aim to highlight resilience and build on what already works in daily life. Sessions may include attention to the body through gentle movement and somatic techniques to help with stress, trauma responses, and overwhelming emotions.
Background and approach
Corey often invites clients to bring everyday items into sessions - a song, a photo, artwork, or a short video - as a way to start conversation and reconnect with what matters to the person. That makes early appointments feel familiar and less clinical. The therapist also acknowledges lived experience with chronic illness and neurodiversity as part of an empathetic practice.
Corey has five years of clinical experience and holds an Illinois LCPC. Sessions are offered in English and are tailored to individual goals like managing anxiety, coping with loss, navigating identity, or exploring life purpose. People meet with Corey online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
The focus is practical support, honest conversation, and small steps toward clearer thinking and steadier days.
Approaches that combine talk and body-centered work
Corey uses client-centered therapy to put your goals and choices at the center of sessions. This approach focuses on listening, understanding your perspective, and helping you decide what steps feel right for you.Somatic therapy is also part of the practice and involves simple body-based techniques like gentle movement and breath awareness. These tools can help when stress, anxiety, or trauma show up as physical tension or overwhelm.
Trauma-focused therapy is offered to address past harm and its present effects. Sessions can include pacing, grounding, and body awareness to reduce reactivity and support safer engagement with difficult memories.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Corey will discuss options with each person and tailor methods to fit goals, preferences, and how a person responds in sessions. Adjustments are normal and expected as trust and clarity grow.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and somatic guidance, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text messaging can work well for brief check-ins, shorter reflections, or moments when writing helps process thoughts. These formats make it easier to schedule consistent care and to use therapy tools between sessions.
