About Corey
Corey Tolliver is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical therapy to help people manage strong emotions. He focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and self-esteem challenges. Corey aims to create a calm, honest space for people to talk and be heard.
He centers work on clear, step-by-step techniques. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. That approach helps people notice what makes feelings worse and try alternatives that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Corey pays attention to how isolation and a lack of connection affect mood. He supports men working through identity and relationship pressures and guides people building self-love after long periods of self-criticism. He also addresses compassion fatigue for helpers who feel drained.
With four years of clinical experience, Corey brings a steady, straightforward style. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using it to set simple goals and small experiments between sessions. Meetings are collaborative and geared toward practical change.
He practices in Virginia and holds the credential LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Sessions are held in English and offered through several online formats. Corey encourages people to take the first step when they are ready to try different ways of handling difficult feelings.

How CBT and online sessions work together
Corey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting the thoughts and routines that keep problems going. In short, people learn to test new ways of thinking and small new behaviors, then notice what changes.This approach helps with anxiety, anger, stress, and low self-worth by breaking big problems into doable steps. Sessions often set simple between-session tasks so progress can be tracked week to week.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and what feels doable. Together they decide whether CBT fits or whether the plan should shift over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and run typical therapy conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, more frequent touchpoints for practicing skills between longer sessions.
These options make it easier to fit therapy into work or family life, keep momentum between appointments, and try different formats until the best fit is found.
