About Corina
Corina Istanich is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and struggles with substance use. She works in English and Spanish and brings a straightforward, compassionate style to sessions. Corina aims to build a practical relationship that focuses on real-life change rather than labels or lectures.
She favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and borrows ideas from other approaches when useful. In sessions she helps clients spot unhelpful thinking, practice coping skills, and set clear boundaries.
Background and approach
Corina is direct when needed and also emphasizes warmth and understanding. Her background includes about 10 years in the counseling field, with experience in inpatient addiction care and outpatient and in-home settings. That history means she has worked with people facing drug and alcohol addiction, anger, communication problems, parenting stress, grief, trauma, and career concerns.
Corina trained at Palm Beach Atlantic University for both undergraduate and graduate studies. She holds a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential - LMHC - and draws on that clinical foundation in her practice. She prefers video sessions so she can read nonverbal cues, but also uses phone, live chat, or text when video is not possible.
Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. Clients and therapist decide practical steps together, such as practicing coping strategies, improving communication, or addressing addictive behaviors. Corina encourages steady progress and helps people build skills they can use outside sessions.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what she hears, and helps clients feel seen so they can explore changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions include identifying patterns, trying new skills between appointments, and tracking small changes over time. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building better interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help with anger and relationship strain.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That way sessions stay focused on what the client wants to change rather than on a fixed method.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. Video calls let the therapist and client see one another and pick up on visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a shorter touchpoint is needed between longer sessions. These options provide flexibility so people can work on anger, stress, addiction, and relationship skills from different settings and schedules.
