Corey Winston

Corey Winston is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years in the mental health field and five years providing therapy. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and challenges like sleep or eating problems. He also supports those facing trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career questions, ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, and major life changes.

He trained with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a Master of Social Work from The University of North Carolina at Pembroke. Those studies inform how he sees social context and everyday pressures. His experience includes work with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities, mental health, and substance use needs.

In sessions he aims for clear, straightforward conversations. He listens for what matters most, helps set practical goals, and suggests steps clients can try between meetings. He focuses on respecting each person’s choices and dignity while working toward realistic improvements in daily life.

Corey values helping people access services and make decisions that match their goals. He avoids bias and works to create a respectful space for people who want help. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking to be sure they match their needs.

How evidence-based tools translate to online therapy

Corey draws on common evidence-based techniques to address symptoms and daily struggles. He uses practical problem-solving to break larger problems into doable steps, which can help with anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. He also applies skills-based approaches that teach concrete strategies for sleep, mood management, and handling cravings related to addictions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with clients to identify methods that fit their needs and goals, and will adjust techniques based on how someone responds. That process helps make sessions relevant and goal-oriented rather than one-size-fits-all.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, support shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows continuity of care when schedules change, and lets people use concrete tools and homework between meetings just as they would in face-to-face therapy.
