Corey Leaper

Corey Leaper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who helps people dealing with loneliness, stress, and mood difficulties. He focuses on listening first and helping people find practical ways to feel less isolated and more connected. Sessions emphasize what matters now and what small steps can improve daily life.

Corey draws on more than a decade in mental health work, including recent experience supporting people with bipolar disorder and other persistent mental illnesses. He earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Penn State University and a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Holy Family University. He holds a Pennsylvania LPC credential.

His style is client-centered, meaning the person’s goals guide the work. Conversations are grounded in present concerns while also addressing past experiences that still cause trouble. Corey uses familiar techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses.

Therapy is presented as a process rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Dialectical behavior ideas and motivational interviewing often appear when they match a person’s needs. Sessions can include practical skills, short experiments, and planning for everyday stressors.

People who come for help with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, or relationship strain will find a steady, straightforward approach. Corey aims to help clients build more options for coping, improve communication, and pursue clearer life purpose over time.

Approaches that fit daily life and online sessions

Client-centered work puts the person's priorities first and helps people shape goals that matter to them. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting back what matters, and supporting choices that feel right in everyday life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It helps people test unhelpful beliefs and try small experiments to reduce anxiety, low mood, or social avoidance.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It teaches steps for tolerating distress and communicating more effectively during heated moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than sticking to one fixed method.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since formats were not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and remove travel time so people can use a break at work or home for a session. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered techniques to work over distance while focusing on practical changes for everyday challenges.
