Corey Tolliver, LCSW

Corey Tolliver is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia with four years of clinical experience. He focuses on common struggles such as depression, anxiety, stress, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. He also works on isolation and loneliness, men's issues, and building healthier self-regard.

Corey frames sessions around clear, practical conversations. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that make daily life harder. Sessions aim to create concrete steps for managing mood, reducing reactive anger, and handling work and family pressures.

Corey pays attention to how social identity and marginalization affect emotional health. He listens for patterns shaped by identity and lived experience, then connects those patterns to everyday choices and coping habits. The approach is direct and focused on skills people can use between sessions.

People can expect short-term strategies alongside longer-term skill building. That might include testing small behavioral changes, developing thought records, or practicing alternative responses to stress. The work is collaborative and paced around what a person can try in their life right now.

Corey aims to reduce isolation and help people reconnect with sources of meaning and calm. He supports clients as they practice self-compassion and self-regard, and as they build realistic plans to manage stress and mood over time.
