About Corey
Corey Phillips is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family-related issues, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Corey also focuses on related areas including attachment concerns, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and issues around communication and commitment.
Corey uses straightforward conversation to help people make small, practical changes. Sessions look at what is happening now and what can be changed next. He pays attention to how relationships and past experiences shape day-to-day feelings and choices.
In session he draws on client-centered methods and solution-focused tools to clarify goals and find workable steps. Mindfulness practices are used to help manage stress and strong emotions. Trauma-focused approaches are available when past harm is part of the picture.
Corey commonly helps people who feel stuck after a separation, who are coping with chronic illness or caregiving demands, or who want different patterns in close relationships. He also supports people exploring kink, BDSM, and alternative sex culture as part of addressing relationship and identity concerns.
He aims for clear communication about what is most pressing, and for tangible next steps between sessions. People considering therapy can expect focused conversations about coping strategies, communication skills, and ways to reduce day-to-day distress.
How sessions work
How Corey blends approaches in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs to sort through feelings, clarify priorities, or feel heard while making decisions. Solution-focused work looks for small, practical steps to try between sessions. It is useful for people who want quick, manageable changes for stress, communication, or day-to-day problems.Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm strong emotions. These practices can help with anxiety, panic, and managing stress that affects relationships and caregiving roles. Corey combines these approaches based on what a person brings to the first sessions and what goals they name. He treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process and will check in about what is working and what to change.

Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time so therapy fits around work or caregiving. The practical aim is to make therapy fit into everyday life while focusing on clear techniques for communication, coping, and managing strong emotions.
