About Corrie
Corrie Short is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington who focuses on practical support for parents feeling overwhelmed. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and the everyday strain that comes with parenting. Corrie keeps conversations straightforward so parents can get to what matters quickly.
She builds sessions around an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere. Clients can expect a calm space to talk about difficult feelings and choices.
Background and approach
Corrie listens closely and asks questions that help people clarify what they want to change. Her work draws on client-centered principles, so the person's goals guide each session. She also uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people find their own reasons for change and to boost commitment when habits are hard to shift.
These methods are practical for substance use, process addictions, and behavior patterns tied to stress and mood. Corrie has 13 years of professional experience in behavioral health. That background includes helping people with communication problems, codependency, body image, impulsivity, and issues connected to guilt and shame.
She also supports people dealing with loneliness, forgiveness, and women's issues. Sessions can focus on short-term coping strategies or longer work to reshape patterns. Corrie aims to offer clear steps you can try between meetings, and she adjusts the pace based on what each person needs.

How client-centered care and motivation work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening first and following the client's goals. The therapist creates space for people to say what matters most and then helps shape sessions around those priorities. Motivational interviewing uses open questions and reflections to help people uncover their reasons for change and to strengthen commitment to new behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Corrie works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs and goals, and she adjusts as progress is made. Together they pick the pace and strategies that feel most useful.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send short updates, ask questions between sessions, or choose a format that feels easier than being on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and varied daily routines.
