Great to meet you!

I’m Corey Iams, LMSW, a Michigan-licensed therapist. If anxiety, overthinking, or major life transitions have you feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Clients describe me as warm, honest, and practical. I focus on what matters most to you right now, then we work in small, doable steps so progress feels real—not theoretical.

Therapeutically, I blend CBT (to organize thoughts and habits), ACT (to clarify values and take aligned action), motivational interviewing (to strengthen momentum), and trauma-informed care (to keep the work steady and safe). You’ll get clear goals, actionable homework when helpful, and someone who will both support you and kindly challenge you.

I work with adults and teens on anxiety, stress, perfectionism, burnout, self-confidence, and life/career changes. Telehealth for clients anywhere in Michigan. Whether you’re starting therapy for the first time or returning after a break, I’ll meet you where you are and move at a pace that fits. If you’re ready to feel less stuck and more steady, reach out!

My approach to therapy

As a Michigan-licensed therapist, I blend evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help organize thoughts and habits, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and promote aligned action, motivational interviewing to build momentum, and trauma-informed care to ensure a steady, safe therapeutic environment. My primary focus is working with adults and teens experiencing anxiety, stress, perfectionism, burnout, self-confidence challenges, and significant life or career transitions, offering telehealth services statewide. I emphasize clear goals, actionable homework when useful, and a supportive yet gently challenging therapeutic relationship tailored to each client’s needs.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave sessions with me having a clear understanding of their goals, practical strategies tailored to their needs, and actionable steps they can use right away. I prioritize helping you organize your thoughts, clarify your values, and build steady momentum forward—all in a supportive, safe environment. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, perfectionism, burnout, self-confidence, or big life changes, you’ll gain personalized tools and encouragement, ensuring that progress feels both real and sustainable.
