About Korey

Korey Puckett is a licensed social worker with two decades of clinical experience. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. He also supports those facing addiction, trauma, relationship or intimacy concerns, career questions, and grief. Korey offers evening and weekend appointments to fit busy schedules.

He uses practical, goal-focused conversations to help people spot patterns and try small changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a common tool he uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. He also draws on Motivational Interviewing to boost readiness for change and Solution-Focused Therapy to build short-term plans.

Korey aims to create an empathic, nonjudgmental space where clients can name and express internalized feelings. Early sessions focus on a clear background, a shared sense of priorities, and a simple plan to move forward. He works step-by-step so progress is measurable and not overwhelming.

Over his career he has spoken publicly about relationship topics, including a guest appearance on rocktheflow.com radio. That experience complements his direct clinical work and keeps his approach grounded in real-life concerns. He explains ideas plainly and checks in about what feels useful.

During the first visit he gathers a brief history of needs and begins to shape a treatment plan. Sessions aim to teach skills people can use between meetings, so momentum continues outside the therapy room.

How Korey’s methods fit with online work

Many of the approaches Korey uses translate well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes, which often becomes a clear agenda item in online conversations. Motivational Interviewing centers on exploring readiness and strengthening commitment to change, and it can help when people are weighing life or career decisions. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical next steps and small, achievable goals to try between meetings.

Figuring out which approach to use is part of the early work. Korey collaborates with each person to select methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. He checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts the plan when something isn’t working for the client.

The biography does not specify exact remote formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online-style sessions useful because they can fit meetings into evenings or weekends, reduce travel time, and focus on concrete goals or skills during a shorter check-in. Others prefer longer sessions for deeper work; Korey structures visits around your needs and availability rather than promising a particular delivery method.
