About Korine
Korine Starkey is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker - LISW with 10 years of experience helping adults manage intense emotions and life strain. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem issues, and depression. Korine also addresses concerns such as attachment problems, body image, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, and guilt and shame.
Korine frames sessions as practical conversations about what feels most urgent. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and tries out different ways to respond. Sessions look at how past experiences affect current feelings and choices, and she pays attention to everyday habits that might be making things harder.
She supports people navigating separation, loss, or major life shifts. When grief or trauma is present, Korine breaks things into manageable steps so progress can be steady and understandable. She also works with panic and mood symptoms, offering ways to reduce intense moments and regain a sense of control.
For those carrying guilt or shame, Korine explores how those feelings show up in relationships and self-talk. The focus is on understanding the origins of those feelings, testing unhelpful beliefs, and trying practical alternatives to self-criticism. Work can include improving communication patterns and rebuilding trust with oneself.
Korine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and partners with each person to find what helps most. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the online therapy options button.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Two common evidence-based approaches she uses are cognitive-focused methods and trauma-informed strategies. Cognitive-focused methods look at thoughts that fuel shame and guilt and help people test and change those thoughts; they are helpful for anxiety, low mood, and self-criticism. Trauma-informed strategies focus on pacing, grounding, and building tolerable ways to remember and talk about hard experiences, which can reduce overwhelm during sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options, try approaches, and adjust based on your needs, goals, and how you respond. That collaborative process helps identify techniques that fit your situation and preferences.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Online work can also make it easier to continue therapy during moves or travel, while keeping the focus on practical strategies for managing guilt, shame, and related symptoms.
