About Corey

Background and approach

He brings 13 years of experience in the mental health field and five years providing direct therapy, offering practical support to clients working through eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, and coping with major life changes.

Corey earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a Master of Social Work from The University of North Carolina at Pembroke.

His background includes work with individuals across intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), mental health (MH), and substance use (SU) populations, and he aims to help people make informed choices, pursue personal goals, and participate fully in their communities.

As a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina, he strives to listen without bias and to support each person with dignity and respect. Corey welcomes the chance to collaborate with clients who are ready to address their difficulties and build practical coping strategies.

He applies his training and field experience to tailor care to a client’s needs while helping them move toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

Evidence-Informed Techniques and Online Options



Corey draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people build coping skills and improve daily functioning. One approach focuses on practical skill building to manage stress, anxiety, and ADHD-related challenges by teaching time management, organization, and emotion regulation strategies aimed at improving routines and focus. Another common method emphasizes trauma-informed care and coping strategies for those dealing with past abuse, grief, or significant life changes, concentrating on stabilization, grounding, and gradual processing of difficult memories.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Corey works with clients to identify goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as needed so therapy aligns with each person’s strengths and evolving needs. He partners with clients to try methods, review progress, and refine the plan together.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to access care from home. These formats support ongoing contact and continuity of care while allowing clients to choose the communication style that feels most manageable and effective for their needs.
