About Korin
Korin Whittaker is an AASW-accredited social worker who focuses on practical, everyday strategies for stress and anxiety. She offers calm, respectful support and aims to help people build confidence and cope better with life changes. Korin writes treatment plans with each person’s needs in mind and prioritises clear, direct conversation.
She has four years' experience working in therapy settings across New South Wales. Korin uses tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside a client-centred style.
Background and approach
This mix lets her tailor sessions to address mood, motivation and unhelpful patterns of thinking. Sessions often focus on simple skills to manage anxiety and stress, and on small steps to rebuild self-esteem and confidence. She also helps people who are navigating relationship difficulties, anger, and major life transitions.
Korin pays attention to attachment concerns such as abandonment or trust issues when those are part of the story. Her wider interests include supporting people dealing with chronic illness or disability, caregiving stress, body image, and the practical fallout of hoarding or communication problems. She brings a measured approach to complex topics like domestic violence, fertility strain, guilt, shame and forgiveness.
Korin encourages a collaborative process where the person sets the pace and goals. She aims to make talking about hard things feel manageable and focused on workable next steps.
Approaches that suit online therapy and everyday life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match personal values. It can help people who feel stuck by shifting attention toward meaningful steps rather than getting caught in worry.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and low mood because sessions include clear exercises and homework to try between meetings.
She will work collaboratively to find the best mix of approaches for each person. The therapist and client agree goals and try methods that fit the client’s needs, adjusting the plan as they learn what works. Finding the right approach is part of the process and often changes over time.
Online therapy with Korin can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited. Text-based messaging and live chat are useful for shorter check-ins or when someone needs more frequent, brief support. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family and day-to-day life.
