Background and approach

He uses short-term, goal-focused strategies alongside conversations about what matters to each person. That can include building motivation, changing unhelpful thoughts, and trying small experiments between meetings. Korey favors solution-focused work combined with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.

He often helps clients break big issues into manageable tasks. He also supports people coping with grief, trauma, relationship concerns, career stress, and challenges like addiction and ADHD. He will start by collecting a brief history and then co-create a plan that fits the client’s life and schedule.

Evening and weekend appointments are available to accommodate work and family demands. Korey has also spoken publicly about relationship issues and brings that practical perspective into sessions. People who choose him can expect clear steps, gentle challenge, and an emphasis on skills you can use between sessions.

Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and which strategies help in day-to-day life.

How Korey’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of thinking and acting. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and problems with sleep or obsessions. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building a person’s own reasons for change through guided conversation, which can help with addictions, motivation, and making life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Korey will talk through goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the client’s needs. He collaborates on a plan and adjusts techniques as progress is made so the approach stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work visually and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can help with quick questions, ongoing coaching, or frequent brief support, and they make it easier to fit care around work and family commitments.
