About Korey

Korey Puckett is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. He also helps with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, and issues related to men’s wellbeing. Korey aims to make the first contact straightforward and practical.

Korey offers a calm, empathetic space where clients can talk through their concerns. He listens for what matters most and helps people identify feelings that have been kept inside. Early sessions focus on gathering background and shaping a clear plan together.

His work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to move conversations toward change. That can mean learning new ways to manage strong emotions, building motivation for healthier choices, or testing small practical steps between sessions.

Korey has spoken about relationship issues on rocktheflow.com radio and brings twenty years of varied clinical experience to his practice. He offers evening and weekend appointments to help fit therapy into busy schedules.

During the initial visit he collects relevant history and begins forming a treatment plan with the client. Sessions emphasize real skills, clearer self-understanding, and practical next steps to improve day-to-day functioning.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Many of the methods Korey uses fit well with remote conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Motivational Interviewing helps people find and strengthen their own reasons for change when motivation feels low. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on setting small, concrete goals and building on what already works in someone’s life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. Korey will listen to your goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps you make steady progress. The therapist and client decide together which strategies to emphasize as issues become clearer.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into busy days. Some people find evenings or weekend times simpler to attend without extra travel. Confirm the current session options before booking to learn which formats are available and what best fits your routine.
