Corey Iams, LMSW

Corey Iams is an LMSW who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, anger, and low self-esteem. He also supports carers dealing with caregiver stress, and people concerned about control issues, addiction, guilt, impulsivity, mood problems, and men's issues. Corey writes simply and listens closely so people feel heard from the first conversation.

He approaches sessions as a conversation rather than a lecture. Corey focuses on practical skills you can try between meetings and on small changes that add up. He aims to match tools to the problem you bring and to your life situation, not to force a single method.

Corey draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot the thoughts and habits that keep stress and mood problems running. He uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is weighing change, especially around substance use or other risky patterns.

Over four years in practice he has worked with adults navigating addiction, trauma, grief, and major life shifts. He describes sessions as steady and nonjudgmental, with a focus on realistic steps and personal goals. People who prefer direct, practical talk about problems often find his style a fit.

If you want to start, be prepared to share what brought you to therapy and what you hope will change. That helps make early sessions focused and useful, and gives Corey the best information to tailor next steps.

How core approaches work for online therapy

CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and on practicing new, more helpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress by breaking issues into manageable steps.

DBT gives tools for handling strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. It teaches strategies for staying calm in intense moments and for improving how people cope with distress.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way of exploring readiness for change. It helps people clarify their own reasons for change when they feel stuck about habits like substance use.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Corey will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and current challenges and then help choose or blend methods. That collaborative process helps shape sessions around what actually helps the client.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, shorten check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. These practical conveniences let people focus on progress and use tools between sessions without promising any particular format.
