About Corey
Corey Iams is an LMSW who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, anger, self-esteem, and depression. He focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Corey aims to make conversations straightforward and useful for daily life.
Corey emphasizes a collaborative style. Sessions are meant to feel like a real conversation where goals guide the work. He listens for what matters most and suggests simple strategies to try between meetings.
Background and approach
The approach is direct and down-to-earth rather than clinical or abstract. He uses evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to address problems like mood changes, impulsivity, and substance use. Those methods target thoughts, behaviors, and motivation so people can build new habits and better manage strong emotions.
Corey has four years of practice as a licensed social worker in Michigan. That experience includes helping people with caregiver stress, control issues, guilt and shame, and men's issues. He brings a steady, nonjudgmental presence when someone is facing transitions or recovery challenges.
Sessions can be set up through an online subscription model and adjusted as needs change. Corey supports a range of concerns from relationship strain to addiction and mood disorders. He works with clients to set clear, achievable steps and track progress over time.
How online approaches like CBT and DBT can help
Corey commonly works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, plus Motivational Interviewing. CBT focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. DBT teaches practical skills for coping with intense emotions and improving regulation in stressful moments. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about change by clarifying goals and boosting internal motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the work and Corey treats it as a team effort. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. If something isn’t helping, he adjusts the plan so goals stay realistic and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to suit different schedules and needs. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill practice, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging is useful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving, and daily life.
