About Corey
Corey Winston is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 13 years in the mental health field. He has provided direct care across intellectual and developmental disability (IDD), mental health (MH), and substance use (SU) settings. He helps people handle stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, sleep and eating issues, and other life changes.
Corey holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a Master of Social Work from The University of North Carolina at Pembroke. He spent years working in community settings before offering therapy directly for five years. That mix of community work and clinical practice shaped his practical approach to problems.
In sessions he focuses on clear, actionable steps people can try between meetings. He encourages making choices that fit everyday life and building routines that reduce overwhelm. He talks through specific situations and helps people notice patterns that increase stress or anger.
Corey aims to treat each person without bias and to support their ability to participate in community life. He works with adults on a range of concerns, including mood disorders, coping with change, and challenges tied to trauma or substance use. He also assists with career stress and self-esteem issues.
People who choose him should expect straightforward conversation and practical skills to practice outside sessions. To begin, readers can use the site button to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approach to evidence-based care and online sessions
Corey works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical change. One common method focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior and replacing them with concrete experiments to test new ways of responding; this helps with anxiety, mood shifts, and anger that comes from automatic reactions. Another approach centers on building daily routines and coping skills to reduce stress and cravings; this is useful for addictions, sleep and eating issues, and for managing high-stress periods.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Corey will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try small changes and adjust the plan based on what fits the person’s life and produces real, manageable results.
If you want to work online, confirm the available session formats when you book since the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy schedule easier, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel time. It can also let people continue care while handling work shifts or other responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt tools and homework to remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
