Therapy With Dr. Corinne Votaw-Freer

As a licensed psychologist practicing in 40 states, I provide online therapy for adults who want more than quick advice or surface-level coping. Many people arrive feeling overwhelmed, stuck in repeating patterns, or exhausted from holding it together for everyone else. You might be functioning on the outside while anxiety, sadness, irritability, or numbness builds underneath. Therapy can be a place to slow down, sort through what’s happening, and finally get support that is consistent, skilled, and focused on real change.

In our work together, we’ll make sense of both the symptoms you’re feeling now and the deeper forces that keep them in place—stress, trauma, relationships, identity shifts, or long-standing beliefs about yourself. I tailor therapy to your goals and your pace, combining practical tools with deeper insight so you can feel steadier day-to-day while also creating lasting change over time. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, burnout, or a major phase-of-life transition, we’ll build a plan that fits your life and helps you move forward with more clarity, confidence, and self-trust.

A Grounded, Personalized Therapy Experience

My approach is warm, direct, and evidence-informed. In our work together, you can expect:

• A supportive space where you can be honest without judgment
• Practical tools and coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation
• Deeper insight into patterns, triggers, relationships, and the impact of past experiences
• Collaborative goal-setting so therapy stays aligned with what matters most to you
• A steady, structured process that balances relief now with long-term growth

Why Work With a Licensed Psychologist

“Therapist” is a broad term that can include many different training paths. As a licensed psychologist, my clinical training includes advanced assessment, diagnosis, evidence-based treatment planning, and extensive supervised experience. That background can be especially helpful if you:

• Want a clearer understanding of what you’re experiencing (not just symptom management)
• Have complex trauma, long-standing anxiety/depression, or symptoms that feel “layered”
• Have tried therapy before and want a more structured, skills-based approach
• Need treatment that integrates patterns, nervous-system responses, and behavior change

In short: you get the warmth of supportive therapy with the benefit of doctoral-level clinical training and a more precise treatment framework.

Common Concerns I Work With

Clients often reach out for online therapy support with:

• Trauma and PTSD (including complex trauma)
• Anxiety, panic, rumination, and chronic overwhelm
• Depression, numbness, low motivation, and burnout
• Phase-of-life transitions (career change, parenting shifts, relocation, divorce, aging, identity shifts)
• Religious transitions (deconstruction, faith shifts, leaving restrictive or high-control communities, rebuilding meaning)
• Stress and emotion regulation (irritability, shutdown, overthinking, people-pleasing)
• Relationship concerns (communication, boundaries, conflict cycles, attachment patterns)
• Self-esteem and identity work (perfectionism, shame, loss of direction, confidence)

If you’re not sure whether what you’re going through “counts” as a reason for therapy, it probably does.

What It’s Like to Work Together

You can expect me to be present, engaged, and honest—with a focus on both compassion and momentum. We’ll work toward:

• Feeling more emotionally steady and less reactive
• Understanding yourself with more clarity and less shame
• Building coping skills that hold up under real stress
• Making decisions that match your values and goals
• Healing what’s been carried for too long
