About
Corey McSweeney is an LCSW with nine years of clinical experience. Born in Brooklyn and now living upstate New York, he has worked in a county mental health clinic and now practices in a clinical setting. His background includes a broad range of presenting concerns, and he holds a certification as an International Gaming Disorder Counselor (IGDC).
He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD, family and trauma-related issues, grief, self-esteem and career concerns, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, commitment and communication problems, control issues, dissociation, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, and men's issues.
Corey emphasizes rapport as central to therapy and aims to make sessions comfortable and constructive. His style is structured yet adaptable, and he uses self-disclosure when it serves the therapeutic process. He asks for honest engagement and feedback so the work can stay aligned with each person’s goals, and he frames progress as an often non-linear journey rather than a straight path.

Remote sessions with a structured, flexible approach
Corey offers online sessions that draw on client-centered principles and cognitive behavioral techniques. In a client-centered stance he prioritizes building rapport and responds to each person’s concerns with empathy and openness. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to explore patterns of thought and behavior in practical, skills-oriented ways that can be worked on between sessions.
He also integrates mindfulness practices to help people develop present-moment awareness and stress management skills. These approaches can be adapted to a more narrative or solution-focused frame when it fits the issue and the person’s goals. Corey encourages honest feedback and collaborative planning so the shape of remote work matches what someone needs.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats are used to maintain regular contact, complete therapeutic tasks, and tailor the pace and structure of work to each person’s preferences.
