About Korey
Korey Fisher-Wellman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 15 years of experience. He trained in social work and public administration and has worked largely in public child welfare. He helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, mood instability, substance use, trauma, grief, and related stresses.
Korey uses clear, goal-focused methods. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. He also uses solution-focused and client-centered techniques to set practical steps and keep sessions grounded in what matters most to the person.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills and short-term change. That can mean working on coping tools for anxiety, planning small behavior changes for mood or substance use, or practicing communication strategies for relationship and parenting tensions. He also supports people coping with grief and loss and the aftereffects of trauma.
Korey has additional experience related to adoption and attachment concerns. He is listed as an Adoption Competent Therapist by the Center for Adoption Support and Education and draws on that background when abandonment or attachment issues appear in therapy.
He works in English and accepts international clients. Practical steps and measurable strategies are central to his approach, with attention to how daily routines, thinking patterns, and communication affect mood and relationships.
How his approaches translate to online work
Many of Korey’s methods lend themselves to practical, session-by-session work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing small behavior changes, and tracking results over time. It is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and coping strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the client can set their own priorities and notice what works. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and acceptance skills that help with stress, trauma symptoms, and emotion regulation.Choosing the best approach is part of the early work. Korey reviews needs and goals with each person and then tries methods that fit those priorities. He works collaboratively to shape homework, practice exercises, and clear steps to try between sessions so progress can be measured and adjusted.
Confirm current session options before booking because specific formats were not listed in the original biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also allows practicing skills where they’ll be used, such as managing anxiety before a meeting or trying new communication strategies at home. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for the online setting to keep sessions focused and practical.
