Background and approach
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Corrie uses client-centered methods to follow each person's pace and priorities. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people uncover what really matters to them and build momentum for change.
Across 13 years of practice she has worked with a wide range of concerns including body image, codependency, communication problems, control issues, and substance and process addictions. She also supports people coping with guilt, shame, isolation, mood problems, and challenges around self-worth. Corrie offers a straightforward style and focuses on usable strategies.
Conversations tend to be practical and supportive, with attention to what will work in daily life. She encourages small steps and recognizes that change often starts with one honest conversation.
Approach and online therapy options
Client-centered therapy places the person rather than the technique at the center of sessions. It means the therapist listens without judgment, follows what matters to the client, and helps people make sense of their feelings. That approach can be helpful for stress, depression, relationship strain, and identity concerns.Motivational interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. The therapist asks open questions, reflects back what they hear, and helps clients weigh pros and cons. This style is especially useful for addictions, impulse concerns, and when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Corrie will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit best for their goals, needs, and preferences. The plan can be adjusted over time as progress and priorities shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
