  2. How Korey’s approaches work for online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing helps people discover their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation for goals like cutting back on substance use, changing habits, or getting unstuck.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and trying small experiments to shift them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, mood instability, and stress management.

    Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s concerns and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment and helps the person set the pace and agenda for sessions.

    Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. Korey will work together with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than using a single technique for everyone.

    Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Virtual work can reduce travel time, allow quicker scheduling around work or caregiving, and make short check-ins simpler to arrange. Confirm which session formats are available before you book so you know how appointments will be scheduled and delivered.
