Korey Puckett

Korey Puckett, LICSW, LCSW-C, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. He works with concerns such as anger, addictions, self-esteem, relationship struggles, and compassion fatigue. Korey aims to create an empathic space where someone can talk through difficult feelings and begin to feel more able to cope.

He brings 20 years of professional experience and a practical, down-to-earth style. In the first session he gathers background information and starts to shape a plan together. Sessions focus on building insight and practical skills that can be used between meetings.

Korey uses solution-focused work to identify immediate steps that help reduce distress. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thinking and on Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation feels stuck. These methods are used to address a range of concerns including trauma, mood disorders, grief, and issues related to adoption or foster care.

People meet him for help after separation or divorce, for first responder and veteran-related stress, for HIV / AIDS related issues, and for hospice and end-of-life counseling conversations. He also supports those dealing with obsessive behaviors, eating or sleeping problems, and intimacy-related struggles.

Korey offers evening and weekend appointment times. He aims to help people set small, achievable goals and build skills that fit their daily life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first visit.

How his approaches guide online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on noticing the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and trying practical changes that reduce distress. It can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and obsessive patterns.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to explore mixed feelings about change. It helps when someone wants to move forward but feels stuck or unsure where to begin.

Solution-Focused Therapy aims to find small, realistic steps that lead toward a better day-to-day. This approach is useful when a person wants concrete actions they can try right away.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with the client to see which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust over time based on what works.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so appointments can be scheduled around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to the realities of daily life while focusing on practical skills and goal-setting.
