Korey Puckett, LICSW, LCSW-C

Korey Puckett is a licensed social worker with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and addictions. He creates a calm, empathic space where people can talk about hard things and start building practical skills. Korey offers evening and weekend appointments to fit different schedules.

In sessions he focuses on clear goals and step-by-step strategies. He often uses solution-focused conversations to identify what is already working and to build small, realistic changes. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors and on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change.

Korey uses a straightforward style. He listens for what matters most, asks direct questions, and helps people name and express buried feelings. He works with clients to create simple plans they can try between sessions and checks progress over time.

Before starting therapy he gathers a short history about current concerns and how daily life is affected. That information guides an initial plan for sessions and priorities. Korey has discussed relationship topics on radio and brings practical experience from two decades of practice.

Sessions are aimed at improving everyday functioning and emotional balance. People come for help with relationships, parenting strain, career stress, trauma, grief, and issues tied to identity. Korey supports clients who want to build coping tools and regain more control over their lives.

How his approaches translate to online work

CBT helps people notice the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In plain terms it teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood issues.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that draws out a person’s own reasons for change. It is helpful when motivation feels stuck, including with addictions and health behaviors, by focusing on personal goals and small next steps.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on strengths and quick, practical changes. Sessions look for exceptions to a problem and build on what already works to create doable steps toward better days.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and what they want to change. That decision is reviewed and adjusted as progress is tracked.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy lives by reducing travel time, allowing evening or weekend meetings, and making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches so skills and plans are practical and usable between sessions.
