About Corey
Corey Leaper is a licensed professional counselor who works with adults facing mood struggles, stress, and life transitions. He listens with a practical focus to help people name what is most troubling them now. Corey aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for day-to-day life.
He uses clear, collaborative work rather than long lectures. Sessions often focus on current problems while also addressing past experiences that still cause pain. The goal is to help people build skills and new ways of responding to hard moments.
How Corey works
Corey has 11 years of experience in mental health settings. He has supported people living with mood disorders, including bipolar conditions. He earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Penn State University and a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Holy Family University.
He holds an LPC in Pennsylvania. In session he draws on practical methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to spot patterns and reduce distress. He also uses client-centered conversation and motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and stay engaged.
DBT skills are brought in when stronger emotion regulation strategies are needed. Corey aims for a calm, respectful atmosphere where people can try new coping strategies. He emphasizes collaboration and small, manageable steps.
That approach is meant to make progress feel achievable even when life feels overwhelming.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's goals and experience. Sessions prioritize listening, reflection, and helping clients set their own pace. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort out feelings and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can reduce anxiety, low mood, and mood swings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. It is useful when people need tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Corey will collaborate with each person to test methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts tools over time so sessions stay useful rather than fixed to one style.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and role practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people maintain regular contact with a licensed professional.
