About Korin
Korin Whittaker is an AASW accredited social worker in New South Wales, Australia, with four years of experience working in therapeutic settings. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and aim to be practical and direct.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), alongside a client-centred frame. In practice this means she uses skills training, values-based reflection and thinking tools to help people manage difficult feelings and make choices that fit what matters to them.
Korin also has experience addressing attachment and abandonment concerns, issues linked to autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and codependency. She works with people on communication and control issues, commitment worries, and the emotional effects of fertility or domestic violence challenges.
Sessions typically focus on clear, achievable steps. Korin helps people develop coping strategies, behavioural experiments and problem-solving routines. She blends short-term, solution-focused techniques with skills from DBT and ACT when needed.
She uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time. To start, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment through the online booking flow.
How Korin uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action aligned with those values. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure which direction to take after a change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thinking patterns and behaviour, offering practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can help with anger and relationship difficulties.Choosing the best approach is often part of the early sessions. Korin will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit the person's goals and preferences. That might mean using short solution-focused tasks at first, then adding ACT or DBT skills as needed. The plan is adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also allows a mix of skill practice and values-based planning that translates into everyday routines. Appropriately qualified therapists can use these approaches to support people through directionless or transitional periods.
