About Corey
Corey Leaper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who helps people facing stress and anxiety. He works with adults who are managing mood changes, relationship strain, substance concerns, grief, and shifting life roles. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what matters now.
Corey draws on eleven years of experience in mental health settings. He has worked with people living with serious mood and thought disorders, and he uses that background to stay calm when problems feel big.
Background and approach
His training includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Penn State University and a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Holy Family University. Sessions center on the person and their goals. Corey takes a client-centered stance and helps people name what is causing pain today.
From there he mixes practical tools and coping strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. He also uses dialectical behavior skills and mindfulness exercises to manage intense emotions and improve attention to the present moment.
Corey includes motivational interviewing to support changes people want to make, and solution-focused ideas to set small, achievable steps. Therapy tends to blend methods so it fits each person’s needs rather than following a single script. People can expect clear goals, regular skill-building, and a focus on practical changes that make daily life easier.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online in a variety of formats.
How core approaches guide online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s needs and goals. It means the therapist listens without judgment and helps the client direct the work. This approach supports people who need a compassionate space to sort through anxiety, grief, or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It teaches practical skills to notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic symptoms, social fears, and mood problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides concrete tools for handling strong emotions and improving relationships. Skills include distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help when stress or anger feels overwhelming.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time. Together they set small steps and measure what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work when discussing emotion-focused topics. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging give brief, real-time support and make it easier to share on an hourly schedule or between sessions when needed.
