Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions

Korey frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy in his work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress. Motivational Interviewing focuses on eliciting a person’s own reasons for change and can be especially helpful for motivation-related concerns and addictions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small, practical steps that move a person toward their goals and is useful when clients want focused, goal-oriented work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Korey works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts strategies over time to support progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to schedule around work, family, and other commitments. These options allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care and to meet people where they are, with the convenience of evening and weekend availability when offered.
