About Korey
Korey Puckett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland with 20 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, and related concerns, including social anxiety and phobia. He explains things plainly and helps people develop practical skills for day-to-day challenges.
In sessions he begins by gathering a clear history of what’s been going on and what the person hopes to change. He uses solution-focused work to set concrete, short-term goals and then builds steps to reach them. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at patterns of thinking that keep problems stuck.
Korey pays attention to feelings that are kept inside and helps people name and express those emotions. He uses Motivational Interviewing to support commitment when change feels hard or uncertain. Sessions often include skill practice and brief homework to try between meetings.
He has spoken about relationship issues on a public radio appearance and brings that practical experience into conversations about intimacy, communication, and boundaries. He offers evening and weekend appointment times to fit different schedules.
During the first visit Korey reviews background information and outlines an initial plan based on the person’s goals. He keeps the plan practical and adjusts it as needed based on progress and feedback.
How his methods translate to online sessions
Korey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be practiced between sessions with specific exercises. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people clarify their goals and build motivation when they feel stuck. Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on small, achievable steps and on what changes would look like day to day.Choosing the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and situation, and adjust plans based on what helps most. The process is practical and goal-oriented rather than fixed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a break, or an evening meeting that avoids travel. It also allows practicing skills in real contexts and then discussing how they went at the next appointment. Licensed professionals often use these advantages to keep therapy manageable alongside daily responsibilities.
