About Corrie
Corrie Gerster is an Ohio-based mental health professional with 11 years of experience. She has worked across school, home, community, residential, and independent practice settings. Corrie has spent the last seven years focusing on survivors of human trafficking and brings that experience to complex trauma work.
She helps people who are coping with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and sexual-based traumas. She also supports individuals facing relationship strain, transitions into parenting or adulthood, codependency, self-harm thoughts, and non-traditional relationship dynamics.
Background and approach
Corrie uses straightforward tools to address panic, mood changes, and grief. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. Sessions aim to be a space where people can name worries and try small steps toward change.
She draws on evidence-based techniques and practical skills to build coping strategies that fit everyday life. Corrie often teaches cognitive-behavioral and distress-tolerance skills alongside client-centered and solution-focused work. These approaches are used to manage anxious thoughts, reduce panic symptoms, and improve daily routines.
She supports people exploring identity, intimacy concerns, and attachment issues. People meet Corrie to work on concrete goals such as better sleep, fewer panic attacks, clearer communication, or reduced guilt and shame. She encourages clients to set short-term targets and track manageable progress.
Taking that first step into therapy is framed as a brave move toward change.
How evidence-based techniques work online
Corrie uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety and depression. These methods often involve brief exercises, thought records, and homework to practice between sessions which can reduce panic and improve mood.She also teaches distress-tolerance and emotion-regulation skills derived from dialectical behavior approaches. These skills give concrete tools for managing intense feelings, reducing impulsive reactions, and handling crisis moments more safely. Both approaches translate well to remote sessions through guided exercises and skill coaching.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Corrie will work with each person to choose techniques based on their goals, life demands, and comfort level. She reviews progress and adjusts methods so sessions stay focused on practical outcomes the client wants.
