CBT and Compassion-Focused Online Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. In practice this often means working together to spot negative thinking, test its accuracy, and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is practical and skills-based, helpful for managing symptoms and building everyday coping strategies.
Alongside CBT, Corey emphasizes a compassion-focused, strengths-oriented approach that supports self-compassion and resilience. This work centers on recognizing strengths, addressing compassion fatigue, and developing kinder self-talk. It is especially relevant for people navigating identity-based stress, isolation, or challenges with self-esteem and self-love.
Corey collaborates with each person to determine which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds. Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent support. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, allow therapy to fit into busy lives, and help maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt therapeutic tools to each online format so progress remains focused and practical.
