Remote therapy with body-aware, client-centered methods
Corey provides online sessions by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Their online work draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Somatic Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to meet people where they are and shape sessions around individual goals and preferences.
Client-centered practice means the work is collaborative and guided by what the person wants to address. Somatic Therapy brings attention to the body and nervous system through gentle movement and body awareness exercises when appropriate, offering another route into processing stress and trauma. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides a framework for addressing past harm with pacing and attention to safety.
People who appreciate a blend of conversation and body-aware techniques, and those who like beginning a session by sharing a song, image, or short video, may find this approach aligns with their style. Communication options include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and preferences.
