About Corey

Corey Iams is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, anger, and low self-esteem. He also focuses on men's issues, substance use concerns, caregiver stress, control issues, impulsivity, guilt, shame, and mood disorders. Corey aims to make conversations feel straightforward and real. He invites clients to set clear goals and work at a practical pace.

Corey believes therapy should feel collaborative and honest. Sessions center on what matters most to the person in front of him. He uses hands-on strategies and clear feedback instead of long lectures. The work often includes setting small goals and practicing new ways of coping between meetings.

His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and readiness for change. Those methods are used to build useful skills for daily life. Clients can expect concrete tools for managing cravings, mood swings, and relationship rough spots.

Corey brings four years of clinical experience and a focus on addiction and trauma-related concerns. He offers a steady, nonjudgmental space for people wanting to change how they feel and act. Many people come to him when they are ready to try new routines and develop clearer boundaries.

He practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. To start, prospective clients fill out a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on his availability.

How these approaches translate to online work

Corey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT focuses on testing ideas about yourself and changing small habits that affect mood and daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills to manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive reactions. Those skills are useful for anger, mood swings, and addiction triggers.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Corey will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try strategies that fit their situation. He encourages feedback so techniques can be adjusted as needed, and progress is checked along the way.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you want to explore remote options, confirm the available session formats during scheduling to find what works best for your routine.
