About Corrie
Corrie Gerster is an Ohio-based mental health counselor with 11 years of experience. She has worked in school-based, home-based, community, residential, and independent practice settings. Corrie focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes.
She has spent several years supporting survivors of human trafficking and helps people coping with trauma and abuse. Corrie also addresses parenting transitions, relationship concerns, postpartum depression, and non-traditional relationship dynamics.
Background and approach
Her work includes help for mood disorders, panic attacks, and compassion fatigue. In sessions she creates an open, nonjudgmental space where feelings and worries can be talked through. Corrie uses cognitive-behavioral tools and dialectical strategies alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods.
Those tools are offered in simple, step-by-step ways so clients can use them between sessions. Corrie aims to help people set practical, achievable goals and build skills for daily life. She supports work on attachment and codependency, body image, guilt and shame, and issues around commitment or separation.
Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, tuned to the needs each person brings. She works with people who want clear techniques as well as those who need space to process painful events. Corrie welcomes questions about how therapy can fit a person’s schedule and life demands.

Approaches That Fit Parenting and Trauma Work
Corrie uses clear, evidence-based techniques to help people manage strong emotions and change unhelpful patterns. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and replacing them with practical alternatives. These methods are useful for anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and everyday parenting stress.She also draws on dialectical strategies which teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship skills. Those skills help with intense reactions, codependency, and navigating commitment or separation concerns. Corrie blends these methods with client-centered and solution-focused work to keep sessions goal-directed and respectful of each person’s priorities.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, needs, and preferences and try techniques together to see what fits best. That teamwork helps shape a plan that can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for busy parents and caregivers. Video calls let people keep visual connection and work more deeply. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to get support in smaller moments during the day or between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a hectic schedule while still getting consistent support from a licensed professional.
