About Corey
Corey Tolliver uses a practical, problem-focused approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. He is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, practicing in Virginia. Corey writes short-term goals with clients and focuses on skills that can be used between sessions.
Corey pays attention to how isolation and compassion fatigue affect daily life. He also addresses concerns often described as men's issues and the work of building self-love.
How Corey works
Sessions are built around clear steps - identifying patterns, testing new behaviors, and tracking progress over time. Clients can expect a straightforward style that emphasizes thinking patterns and real-life practice. Corey draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.
He pairs that with concrete coping strategies for immediate relief from stress and anxiety. In the room he aims to make things practical and understandable. Conversations move from problem-spotting to hands-on practice.
Homework is simple and tied to the client's daily routine. Corey has four years of clinical experience as an LCSW and works with adults in Virginia. He focuses on helping people build resilience, reduce symptoms of depression or anxiety, and strengthen their sense of self-worth.
The work is collaborative and paced to fit each person.

Online support options
CBT-based care delivered online
Corey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different, more helpful responses. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with low self-esteem because it breaks issues into clear, manageable steps.The right approach is a joint decision. Corey talks with each person about their goals and daily life, then adapts CBT techniques and pacing to fit those needs. He works collaboratively to test what helps most and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a camera feels uncomfortable. Live chat and messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or when writing things out feels more natural. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep consistent progress.
