About Corey
Corey Iams is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) practicing in Michigan with four years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, self-esteem, and depression, and also focuses on caregiver stress, control issues, substance use, guilt and shame, impulsivity, men's issues, and mood disorders. He frames therapy as straightforward conversation rather than lectures.
Corey aims to make sessions feel collaborative and honest. He listens for what matters most and helps people build practical tools for daily life. Much of his work involves clarifying goals and practicing skills between sessions.
He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test different actions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational Interviewing helps when people are weighing change related to substance use or other patterns.
Sessions are paced to each person. Corey prioritizes clear, concrete strategies over abstract explanations. He encourages small experiments and regular check-ins on progress.
People often come for help with things like overwhelming guilt or shame tied to relationships, choices, or past events. Corey talks through those feelings without judgment and works on manageable steps forward. He asks about daily routines, relationships, and what the client wants to change.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking.
