About Cory
He uses straightforward, practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and change them. That often looks like identifying negative thoughts, testing them against real life, and trying new behaviors that lead to better outcomes. Sessions aim to build skills that can be used outside of therapy.
Cory also pays attention to attachment and past trauma when those issues affect current relationships or mood. He listens for patterns in how people connect with others and helps them practice different ways of relating. When trauma is present, he focuses on helping people feel steadier in daily life before tackling harder material.
People who choose Cory usually want clear steps to manage stress, anger, or low mood and appreciate a collaborative, direct style. He supports work on communication problems, commitment concerns, and difficulties with control or impulsivity. Cory also helps with career stress, compassion fatigue, and the emotional fallout of separation and infidelity.
Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Cory welcomes people who want a practical approach and steady support while they work toward clearer thinking and healthier routines.
How these approaches work online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT sessions usually involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing new skills between meetings to reduce anxiety or low mood.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. In remote sessions this approach helps people notice how they connect with others and try new responses to improve communication and trust.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process may lead to combining methods or adjusting the focus as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a work break or need less bandwidth. Live chat and text sessions allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and try different formats to see what works best.
