Corey Cunningham, LCPC

Corey Cunningham is a licensed clinician who brings warmth, practical skills, and lived experience to their work with adults and young adults. They identify as AuDHD, queer, and as someone living with chronic illness, and they centers these perspectives when supporting clients through identity, trauma, grief, relationship, and life-transition challenges. As an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - Corey combines a strength-based orientation with trauma-informed and somatic practices to help people rebuild stability and cultivate self-compassion.

Corey emphasizes resilience that clients already carry, and works to turn that resilience into usable coping and growth. Sessions often include gentle body awareness and movement to engage the nervous system alongside talk-based exploration, and Corey invites creative entry into sessions such as sharing a song, artwork, photo, or short video that felt meaningful recently. This approach supports connection and helps clients find a grounded starting point for the work.

Corey is attentive to sensory needs and accommodations, and sometimes wears rose-colored glasses during sessions to ease migraines and light sensitivity. They encourage clients to make use of whatever accommodations support them, including emotional support animals when relevant. Focus areas include LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD and autism-related needs, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, career questions, and coping with major life changes. Corey aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can show up authentically and move toward clearer goals and greater well-being.

Approaches that guide online care and embodied healing

Corey blends collaborative, body-aware, and trauma-informed methods to support people navigating identity, relationships, neurodiversity, and past harm. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting each person where they are - listening without judgment and building goals based on the client’s values and strengths. This approach helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and clarifying purpose.

Somatic Therapy invites gentle attention to bodily sensations and movement to calm the nervous system and process the effects of stress and trauma. It can be especially helpful for people who experience anxiety, sensory differences, or chronic physical responses related to past experiences.

Corey approaches treatment as a collaborative process. They work with clients to identify which methods feel most helpful, adjusting techniques as needs, goals, and preferences evolve so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy with Corey offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules, energy levels, and communication preferences. These options make consistent work possible for people balancing health needs, work, school, or caregiving responsibilities, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor pacing and contact to each client’s comfort and goals.
