    About Corey

    Corey Iams is an LMSW who helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He focuses on practical steps that make daily life more manageable. Corey speaks plainly and aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to say what they really mean.

    Corey favors a conversational style. Sessions are collaborative - he listens, reflects, and helps clients set realistic goals. He draws on motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck or unsure about next steps. He also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for emotion and impulse management.

    Corey has four years of experience working with adults around substance use, trauma, mood concerns, and life transitions. He focuses on helping people build concrete coping skills and make steady progress. The approach is practical and paced to the client’s needs.

    People who come to Corey often want relief from intense emotions, clearer thinking about choices, or better ways to handle conflict and stress. He also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, control issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and men’s issues. Sessions aim to translate insight into everyday habits.

    Corey practices in Michigan and conducts work in English. He uses a straightforward matching and scheduling process to begin work together, and sessions are arranged according to therapist availability.

  2. How these approaches translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and to find internal reasons to change. It uses open questions, reflective listening, and gentle guidance to explore ambivalence about goals like reducing substance use or improving relationships.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to build routine habits that reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and impulsive behavior, including techniques for distress tolerance and emotion regulation.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Corey will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made, and he supports adjustments along the way.

    Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are arranged through the scheduling process. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use skill practice in real-time and carry changes back into daily routines more readily.
