About Corey

Corey Iams is an LMSW based in Michigan who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He also focuses on caregiver stress, control issues, substance use concerns, guilt and shame, impulsivity, men's issues, and mood disorders.

Background and approach

Corey aims to create a collaborative, conversational therapy experience that centers each person's goals and priorities. His style emphasizes practical skills and honest conversation so clients can build tools that fit everyday life.

With four years of experience, he draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help clients manage emotions, revise unhelpful thinking patterns, and increase motivation for change. He seeks to offer a steady, nonjudgmental space where people can work at their own pace and feel heard.

Corey’s practice welcomes adults navigating recovery, trauma-related challenges, grief, major life transitions, and mood concerns. Those ready to begin are encouraged to follow the service's intake steps to match and schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Corey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to emotional distress; this approach is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to support emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when strong emotions or impulsivity are present.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Corey treats that choice as a collaboration. He works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting the mix of strategies as progress and needs evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules or those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into everyday life and to continue work between appointments using brief messages or chat when needed.
