About Corey
Corey Leaper is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with 11 years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, bipolar challenges, addictions, relationship strain, grief, and life changes. Sessions are spoken in English and focus on practical ways to manage day-to-day problems.
Corey uses a client-centered stance. That means the person in therapy shapes the work and decides what matters most. He focuses on the present while also addressing past experiences that keep showing up. The goal is to help people notice what's happening now and try different ways to respond.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used for emotion regulation and managing intense reactions. Mindfulness techniques help slow things down and reduce reactivity in heated moments.
Motivational Interviewing is part of his work when people want to make changes but feel stuck. Solution-focused strategies are used for setting small, practical steps that fit into daily life. Together these approaches aim to build more options for handling anger and frustration.
Corey has spent much of his recent work supporting people with serious mental illness in community settings, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder. He holds a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and bases his sessions on collaboration and clear, simple strategies.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Corey uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on what the client wants to work on. That approach means sessions are guided by the person’s priorities and pace, which helps when dealing with anger or ongoing mood issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to catch unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. CBT is practical for workplace frustration, repetitive negative thinking, and habits that fuel anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to reduce reactivity and manage intense moments.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. Corey collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and daily life. The choice of techniques is adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. Therapists commonly adapt CBT and DBT exercises for virtual visits so skills practice can happen between sessions.
