About Corey

Corey Winston is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years in the mental health field and five years providing therapy. He focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and changes in life circumstances. He also helps people dealing with parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, anger, bipolar concerns, and attention challenges.

Corey takes a practical approach in sessions. He listens first, then helps people name what feels hardest.

Background and approach

He uses straightforward tools and steps people can try between sessions. Conversations are aimed at improving daily life and coping skills rather than relying on jargon. His training includes a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.

That background shaped his focus on helping people make choices and take small steps toward goals. The title LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Corey has experience with communities across North Carolina and with adults who have varied mental health and support needs.

Over time he has learned to keep sessions respectful and free of judgment. He encourages people to set the pace that feels right for them. People who reach out can expect clear talk about goals, practical strategies for stress and mood, and help sorting priorities.

He invites anyone who wants guidance to consider a conversation about where to begin.

Therapeutic techniques and online options

Corey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at practical change. One common approach focuses on teaching coping skills for anxiety, stress, and mood challenges by breaking problems into manageable steps and trying new behaviors between sessions. This helps people test what works in daily life and build confidence. Another approach emphasizes problem-solving for concrete issues like sleep, eating, anger, or adjusting to life changes. Sessions look at routines, small behavior changes, and realistic plans that fit a person's schedule and goals. Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then adapt techniques over time based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together what to try and when to adjust. Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing, want quick check-ins, or need support between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family commitments.
