Korin Whittaker

Korin Whittaker is an AASW social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain and anger. She works with adults who want more confidence, clearer goals and better day-to-day coping. Her tone is practical and respectful, and she focuses on what clients need right now.

Korin tailors conversations and plans to each person. She listens first, then suggests approachable tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Sessions often focus on small steps that build motivation and steady progress.

Her practice aims to make therapy understandable. Korin uses plain language and short, actionable strategies rather than jargon. She encourages people to try ideas between sessions and to notice what works for them.

She has four years of experience working in the therapy space across a range of common life stresses. That background informs a flexible approach for problems such as attachment worries, communication difficulties and caregiving strain. Korin also supports people dealing with chronic pain, body image concerns and hoarding-related distress.

Clients can expect conversations that are calm and down-to-earth. Korin helps break big problems into manageable steps and supports people through change. If you want a therapist who prioritises practical tools and steady progress, she offers an open, person-focused way of working.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress and motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new, more helpful behaviours through small experiments. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and managing anger. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness and tolerating distress in hard moments.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, explain relevant options, and try methods that fit you. If something does not help, the plan can change so you get tools that feel useful.

Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during work breaks or avoiding travel time. They also allow the therapist to share worksheets and exercises that you can use between sessions. Ask about practical arrangements and what will work best for your routine before you schedule.
