About Korey
Korey Fisher-Wellman is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and parenting concerns. He holds a Master of Social Work and brings a background in public child welfare to his clinical work. Korey aims to make therapy straightforward and focused on practical change.
He meets people where they are and listens first. Sessions typically begin with what matters most to the person and clear, short-term goals are set together.
Background and approach
Korey uses plain language and concrete steps rather than jargon, so parents and individuals can try things between sessions. His approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered care to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift everyday habits. Solution-focused methods help set small, achievable goals when immediate change is needed.
Motivational interviewing supports people who are managing substance use or working through ambivalence. Korey also draws on mindfulness practices to teach simple ways to reduce stress in busy lives. He has worked with issues related to attachment, abandonment, blended family dynamics, and caregiver strain.
Korey supports people navigating major life changes and mood challenges. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in North Carolina and international clients. He provides online care through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit busy lives
Korey uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits that contribute to anxiety, low mood, and stress. CBT is practical and often focuses on small behavior changes and new ways of thinking that can reduce symptoms over weeks.He also draws on client-centered therapy, which centers on what the person wants to work on and uses a warm, nonjudgmental stance to build trust. This approach helps people feel heard while they explore what matters most to them. Motivational interviewing is used when someone feels unsure about change; it helps clarify personal goals and strengthens motivation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Korey will discuss options, listen to goals, and tailor methods based on needs and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made, so therapy stays useful and focused.
Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quiet check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, frequent check-ins or written reflection between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules, work days, or travel plans.
