Corey Winston, LCSW

Corey Winston is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with 13 years in the mental health field. He lists work with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

Corey spent earlier years supporting children and adults across intellectual and developmental disability, mental health, and substance use settings. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a Master of Social Work from The University of North Carolina at Pembroke. That training and hands-on work inform his practical approach to helping people manage symptoms and daily challenges.

Sessions focus on clear goals and everyday problem solving. Corey aims to help people access services, make choices, and pursue realistic aspirations. He emphasizes respect and dignity in how he talks with people and plans steps forward.

When someone comes for help, Corey listens for patterns that affect daily life. He uses practical strategies to reduce distress, improve routines like sleep and eating, and address relationship and parenting concerns. He also helps people weigh career decisions and cope with major life changes.

Corey has provided therapy directly for about five years within his broader 13-year career, which contributes to his perspective on challenges people face over time. He does not show bias toward people who seek help and aims to work collaboratively on manageable steps toward the goals a person sets.
