About Korey

Korey Fisher-Wellman is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of practice. He brings experience from public child welfare and a background in psychology and social work to his work with clients. He aims to create a calm and straightforward space where people can talk about stress, relationships, career concerns, or grief.

Korey offers practical conversation first. He listens to what feels most urgent and helps people set small, reachable goals. Sessions typically involve looking at current patterns, trying out different ways of coping, and checking what helps in daily life.

He commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to examine thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, mood swings, or low self-esteem. Solution-focused methods help people identify strengths and build steps toward change. Client-centered work means the session is guided by the person’s priorities rather than a fixed agenda.

Korey also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support people working through addiction, compassion fatigue, or major life transitions. He has experience with grief, trauma, parenting concerns, and issues related to identity and relationships.

He trained at Lenoir-Rhyne University, Appalachian State University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and holds an LCSW in North Carolina. Korey works in English and accepts international clients. If someone wants to begin, they can use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

How Korey’s Approaches Work Online

Korey commonly uses cognitive behavioral approaches and client-centered work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try new ways of responding to anxiety, mood problems, or career stress. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and moves at their pace, giving them space to name what matters most.

He also uses solution-focused techniques to break big problems into small, manageable steps. That approach is useful for goal-oriented issues like career decisions, relationship communication, or building routines after loss. Together these methods give concrete tools and a collaborative way to test what helps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Korey will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as they go. That means sessions can change over time depending on what’s working and what isn’t.
