Corrie Short , LMHC

Corrie Short is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, parenting strain, and depression. She writes simply and listens closely to each person's experience. Corrie aims to make a first session feel approachable and not overwhelming.

Her practice focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Corrie uses straightforward conversation to help people sort out what matters most to them. She pays attention to practical steps that fit daily life, not just abstract ideas.

Corrie draws on 13 years of experience working with adults on a range of issues. That background includes supporting people through mood problems, coping with life changes, and addressing patterns like codependency, control issues, and impulsivity. She also helps with body image concerns and challenges tied to recovery from drug, alcohol, or process addictions.

Sessions cover topics such as loneliness, communication problems, guilt and shame, and self-harm thoughts when those issues come up. Corrie also offers focused support around women's issues and self-love. Her style is collaborative; she works with each person to set realistic goals and to build small, sustainable changes.

People who choose Corrie can expect clear talk about next steps and tools to use between sessions. She encourages questions and checks in often to make sure therapy is moving in a useful direction.

Approaches that work well online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the person's lead. In online sessions this looks like open conversation where the therapist reflects what is said and helps clarify priorities. It works well for stress, anxiety, relationship patterns, and self-worth struggles.

Motivational interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find reasons to change. The therapist asks questions that draw out a person's own goals and values and then supports small, achievable steps. This approach pairs naturally with work on addictions, impulse control, and making lifestyle changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Corrie collaborates with each person to decide what fits their needs and goals and adjusts methods as progress is made. The process is guided by the client's preferences and what proves useful in regular sessions.

Online therapy with Corrie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video helps with face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or when written reflection helps, and all formats make it easier to schedule appointments around work or family demands.
