How Korey’s Approaches Work Online

Korey uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to build motivation for change. CBT focuses on identifying patterns that keep problems going and trying small, practical behavior changes to see what helps. Motivational interviewing is a supportive way of talking that helps someone weigh pros and cons and find their own reasons to move forward.

He also works from a client-centered perspective, which means sessions follow the person’s priorities and pace. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is collaborative. The therapist will listen to goals, try options, and adjust the plan based on what feels useful to the individual.

If you prefer online sessions, check the available formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it easier to continue care while managing location changes. Licensed professionals will talk with each person about how to structure sessions and homework so therapy fits into everyday life.
