About Corrie
Corrie Gerster is an Ohio-based mental health therapist with 11 years of professional experience. She has worked across school-based, home-based, community, residential, and private practice settings. Corrie has spent multiple years supporting survivors of human trafficking and brings that background to her general clinical work.
She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting transitions. Corrie also focuses on issues such as codependency, attachment and abandonment, body image, and postpartum depression. Her approach includes practical skills and conversational check-ins aimed at everyday changes.
In sessions she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Corrie uses a mix of cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical-behavioral skills alongside client-centered and solution-focused strategies. Sessions typically focus on goals the person sets and small steps toward those goals.
She is comfortable addressing complex trauma, sexual trauma, self-harm thoughts, and non-traditional relationship dynamics, helping people plan for safety and coping. Corrie also supports concerns around career, money, grief, and life purpose using direct, practical tools.
For those new to therapy she acknowledges that starting can feel hard and commends people for taking that step. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
Approaches that guide online care and skill building
Corrie commonly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, which focus on noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new, more helpful ways of thinking and acting. These techniques are often used for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns and include concrete exercises and homework between sessions.She also uses dialectical-behavioral skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills help when emotions feel overwhelming, when relationships are intense, or when someone needs clear tools for managing crises and urges.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Corrie collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and daily life. She adapts what she teaches based on progress and feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Session formats are not listed in the available biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a person's routine. It can also let people use skills in real time between sessions and bring specific situational examples to discussion.
