About Korey
Korey Fisher-Wellman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 15 years of experience. He trained in psychology and social work and has worked largely in public child welfare. Korey helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, mood disorders and other life changes.
He uses straightforward methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused work, client-centered approaches, motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and practical steps. Korey draws on years in child welfare to understand family stresses and caregiver strain without assuming clinical jargon.
People come for help with communication problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, abandonment and attachment concerns, caregiving burnout, and challenges tied to ADHD or bipolar mood patterns. He also lists work with LGBT concerns, men’s issues, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Korey holds an LCSW and completed graduate study in social work and public administration. He is recognized as Adoption Competent by the Center for Adoption Support and Education. That background informs how he talks about adoption-related loss, attachment, and parenting challenges.
Sessions are practical and goal-minded. Expect focused conversations, behavioral strategies, and short-term tools alongside space to talk through grief or past trauma. People considering therapy are encouraged to confirm session options before booking.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting to help people clarify what matters most. In practice that means sessions often begin with the person’s immediate concerns and build steps from there. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. That approach is commonly used for anxiety, mood problems, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation. It can help with grief, trauma responses, and ongoing stress.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the collaboration. Korey will work with each person to choose strategies that match their goals, needs, and what feels workable day to day. He balances short-term solution-focused steps with techniques for deeper mood or attachment concerns.
Specific online session formats are not listed here, so confirm options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Others prefer longer blocks for deeper work. A conversation about timing and format is part of the first sessions to make therapy fit regular life.
