About Corey
Corey Cunningham is an IL LCPC with five years of clinical experience. Corey works with young adults and focuses on issues such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, trauma, relationship stress, and questions about life direction. Sessions are conducted in English and Corey identifies as non-binary and queer.
Corey uses a client-centered approach that starts with what the person brings to the room. Conversations often begin with something meaningful to the client - a photo, a song, or a meme - to help ground the session and encourage honest talk. Corey also incorporates somatic techniques, including gentle movement and body awareness, to help people notice how stress shows up in their bodies.
Trauma-focused work is part of the practice when past harms are a central concern. Corey aims to move at a pace that feels manageable while addressing difficult memories and reactions. The emphasis is on building practical coping skills that fit day-to-day life.
Corey mentions living with chronic illness and being AuDHD, and brings that lived experience into clinical work. That perspective often shapes how sessions are paced and how accommodations are discussed. Corey also notes use of rose-colored glasses for light sensitivity during meetings as an example of practical adjustments.
Corey asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and to schedule a first session after that. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location. International clients are not currently accepted.
How Corey’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to what matters most to the client and shaping sessions around those priorities. Online sessions can use that same approach by beginning with a personal object, photo, song, or message you want to discuss, which helps make sessions feel directly relevant to everyday life.Somatic Therapy encourages noticing body sensations and gentle movement to address stress held in the body. In an online setting, a therapist can guide short grounding exercises, breathing, or gentle movement you can do seated or standing to help regulate the nervous system during a session.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing the effects of past harm while keeping the pace manageable. Online meetings can allow the therapist and client to proceed in smaller steps and check in frequently about comfort and pacing so work moves at a rate that suits the client.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try methods, note what helps, and adjust plans based on goals and personal preferences. This is an ongoing, shared process rather than a one-time decision.
The biography did not list specific session formats. Confirm available formats before booking so you know whether sessions are by video, phone, or another method. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time while keeping regular contact with a licensed professional.
