About Korey

Korey Puckett is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience guiding people through stress, anxiety, sleep problems, depression, and relationship strain. He creates an empathic space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and start building practical skills. Korey aims to help people gain insight and confidence so they can manage daily challenges more effectively.

In sessions he focuses on clear goals and step-by-step strategies. He often uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, achievable changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas help uncover the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so clients can try different responses.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool he draws on to help people find their own reasons for change. Korey pays attention to motivation and works at a pace each person can handle. He also explores internalized feelings and encourages healthy expression to reduce shame or self-blame.

Over 20 years Korey has worked in settings where practical problem solving matters. He notes experience supporting people facing grief, trauma, addiction concerns, and stress related to work or caregiving. He offers evening and weekend appointment times to fit busy schedules.

In the first visit Korey gathers a background of needs and begins shaping a treatment plan together. Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative, focusing on what helps in day-to-day life rather than vague promises of change.

How Korey’s Methods Work Remotely

Two of Korey’s main approaches are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try practical changes in behavior to improve mood and sleep. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clear goals and small steps that make everyday life feel more manageable.

He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find personal reasons to change. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Together the methods aim to build motivation, clarity, and actionable plans rather than long lists of abstract ideas.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Korey collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort. He adjusts plans based on what helps most, and clients take an active role in shaping the focus of sessions.

Confirm the specific online or in-person session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed, or avoid travel time for evening or weekend appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to address sleep problems, anxiety, motivation, and other concerns in ways that fit a person’s daily routine.
