About Korey
Korey Puckett is a licensed clinician with more than 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and parenting concerns. He practices in Maryland and offers evening and weekend appointments to fit busy schedules. Korey aims to create an empathic, respectful space where clients can speak openly about what they are facing.
He uses straightforward, task-focused methods to build skills and reduce distress. Sessions often begin with a brief history and clear goals, then move to practical tools clients can use between visits.
Background and approach
Korey emphasizes solution-focused counseling and skill-building so progress can be tracked over time. Motivation and behavior change are addressed using motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral techniques. He helps people identify thoughts and patterns that get in the way, and then work on small, realistic steps toward change.
This approach is useful for addictions, mood concerns, and coping with life transitions. Korey also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, relationship challenges, and intimacy-related issues. He explores internalized feelings and helps clients find ways to express them more clearly.
He has shared expertise on relationship topics as a guest on rocktheflow.com radio. During the first visit Korey gathers background information and begins to shape a plan that fits the client’s needs and goals. Sessions can include short exercises, homework, and review of progress.
He aims to help clients gain insight and practical skills they can use day to day.

How Korey’s Approaches Work Online
CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions use exercises and simple homework to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address sleep or eating problems.Motivational Interviewing focuses on what matters to the client and on small steps toward change. In remote sessions this approach helps with addictions, motivation, and moving through life transitions by clarifying goals and building commitment.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Korey collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and comfort with different formats. He reviews progress and adjusts techniques as therapy moves forward.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are closest to an in-person visit and work well for in-depth conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging let clients check in between sessions or use brief coaching-style support when a quick question or reflection comes up.
These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, child care, or other demands while keeping focus on clear, measurable steps toward the client’s goals.
