About
Corey McSweeney is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) from Brooklyn, New York, who now lives upstate and provides therapy to clients across New York. With over 9 years of professional experience, he brings a background that includes private practice work as well as prior experience in a county mental health clinic - a setting he found both demanding and deeply rewarding, and one that helped shape his growth as a clinician and as a person.
Corey supports clients facing a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety (such as generalized and social anxiety), depression, panic symptoms, anger management, ADHD, self-esteem, motivation, relationship challenges, grief, trauma-related concerns, and additional mood and anxiety difficulties. He also has experience working with obsessive-compulsive symptoms, phobias, behavioral addictions, bipolar disorder, and personality-related concerns, and he approaches these topics with a focus on clarity, collaboration, and practical progress toward the client’s goals.
In addition, Corey holds a certification as an International Gaming Disorder Counselor (IGDC), which focuses on concerns related to problematic video game use among children and adults. He is open to discussing gaming-related patterns and how they may impact relationships, school or work, mood, and daily functioning.
Corey is also transparent about fit and scope. While he has some experience with areas such as eating disorders, substance use, medication management, psychotic disorders, military trauma, domestic violence, autism spectrum disorder, parenting issues, and couples counseling, he encourages clients to seek a therapist with a specialized treatment approach when a concern requires training beyond his background.
His therapy style is structured while remaining flexible, relaxed, and focused on building strong rapport. Corey views the working relationship as central to meaningful change and aims to make therapy as comfortable, productive, and rewarding as possible. He invites clients to be honest about their readiness for self-examination, their goals, and any feedback about the process, emphasizing that clients are the experts on their own stories while he serves as a supportive guide throughout the work.

Practical approaches, made easier online
Corey McSweeney draws from several evidence-informed therapy styles to help clients make sense of what they are experiencing and take workable steps forward. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, respectful relationship where clients can speak openly and feel heard, which can be especially helpful when stress, self-esteem concerns, or relationship strain make it hard to know where to start.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions. It can help clients notice patterns that keep anxiety, depression, or anger going and then practice new ways of responding in daily life. Mindfulness Therapy adds skills for paying attention to the present moment with less reactivity, which many people find useful when dealing with overwhelm, rumination, or intense emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Corey works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and adjust the structure and pace of therapy so it fits the person rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy also makes it easier to stay consistent. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, changing routines, or days when meeting face-to-face feels like too much.
