About Corey
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with five years of experience. Corey Cunningham focuses on LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, stress, anxiety, relationships, family issues, career questions, depression, and coping with life changes.
Corey is queer-identifying and neurodivergent, and mentions living with chronic illness. Sessions often begin with something the client brings in - a song, image, meme, or short video - to help start conversation and ground the session. Corey uses a strength-based, client-centered stance and sometimes works with gentle movement and body awareness to engage the nervous system.
Corey describes a practical, down-to-earth style. Sessions may include talking, tracking body sensations, and brief exercises to help regulate emotions. The approach aims to build on what the person already does well and add small tools for stress, mood, or relationship concerns.
Corey notes accommodations are welcome, including emotional support animals during meetings, and sometimes wears rose-colored glasses to help with migraines and light sensitivity. Clients can expect straightforward language and a focus on concrete steps between sessions.
Corey holds an Illinois LCPC credential. The therapist works in English and does not take international clients. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time; clients choose a subscription level that varies by location.

Approaches used in remote sessions and how they help
Client-centered work focuses on the client's perspective and values. It means the therapist listens closely, follows what the client brings, and helps people clarify goals and next steps. This approach is useful for identity questions, relationship concerns, and deciding on life changes.Somatic therapy pays attention to body sensations and movement. Sessions may include gentle grounding, tracking tension, or short embodied exercises to help regulate stress responses. This approach can help when anxiety, trauma, or chronic illness affect the body as well as mood.
Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing past harm and building coping skills. It often blends talking with practical strategies to manage triggers and distress. This approach is aimed at helping people reduce trauma-related symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Corey collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as goals shift and new issues arise.
