CBT-focused approaches and online sessions
Corey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence each other. CBT work usually looks like identifying specific thoughts that cause distress, testing whether they are accurate, and trying new behaviors to change the outcome. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, anger, and stress.His work is collaborative. He will help clients pick methods that match their goals and preferences and adjust the plan as needed. Together they review what is helping, what is not, and try different techniques until something fits.
