About Korin
Korin Whittaker is an AASW-accredited social worker based in New South Wales. She has four years of experience supporting people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem or big life changes. Korin works in a respectful, down-to-earth way and aims to make the first steps feel manageable.
She adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking and small behaviour changes that add up over time. Korin listens first, then helps people try tools that suit their life and goals.
Her work draws on cognitive behavioural tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on dialectical behaviour ideas for emotion regulation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to help people clarify values and commit to actions that matter. She also uses a person-centred approach to keep the work grounded in what the client wants.
Korin has supported people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image and codependency issues. She also helps with communication problems, control struggles and the fallout from domestic violence.
She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk openly and practise new ways of coping. If someone wants a therapist who is practical, warm and focused on small, achievable steps, Korin offers that collaborative style.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, then choose small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and trying practical experiments to change behaviour and mood. It is often used for anxiety, stress and confidence issues. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the centre of the work, with the therapist offering empathetic listening and gentle guidance while the client leads the pace and topics.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which ideas to try first. That collaborative process can be adjusted as progress is made or priorities shift.
The specifics of session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try tools between sessions and bring real-life examples straight into the conversation. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt these approaches to suit remote work and day-to-day routines.
