About Corey
Corey Leaper is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with 11 years of experience working in mental health. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem problems, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, and difficult life changes.
Corey uses a client-centered way of working. That means the person sitting in the room leads what matters most, and sessions focus on what the client needs now. He pays attention to how past experiences keep showing up in daily life and talks through practical ways to respond differently.
Sessions often include skills and strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Those tools are used to change unhelpful thinking, manage strong emotions, and build steady coping skills. Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing are added when they help a person move forward.
Corey has spent recent years supporting people in the community living with serious mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder. That background informs how he approaches assessment, safety planning, and long-term coping for mood and thought-related challenges.
People working with him can expect clear, practical conversations about current problems. He helps clients name what is most distressing and then tries out manageable strategies to improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions are collaborative and focused on real-world changes.
How sessions work
How Corey integrates evidence-based approaches online
Corey commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real situations to change patterns of thinking and behavior. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many stress-related problems.DBT offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing reactive behavior, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when anger, emotional swings, or self-destructive patterns make daily life harder. He also draws on client-centered principles to keep the work grounded in what matters most to the person.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, current needs, and preferences. That collaborative selection happens early and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family responsibilities, or care duties, and they can reduce travel time. Therapists generally adapt exercises, skill practices, and coping plans so they work in a client's everyday setting rather than only in the therapy hour.
