About Cory
Cory Berberich uses a client-centered approach to meet people where they are. He is an Illinois LCPC with four years of professional clinical experience. Cory aims to create a calm setting where someone can talk openly and feel heard.
He focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. Cory also works with attention and focus concerns often labelled as ADHD. He helps people sort through symptoms that affect daily routines and relationships.
Background and approach
His background includes work in foster care, an autism clinic, and independent practice. That mix of settings brought a lot of exposure to different kinds of distress and ways people cope. He draws on practical skills he has used across those roles to help people manage strong emotions and improve day-to-day functioning.
Cory often uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. He pairs that with mindfulness practices to help people remain grounded. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify clear, achievable next steps between sessions.
Sessions emphasize collaboration and small, manageable goals. Cory explains tools plainly and practices them together with each person. The aim is steady progress toward clearer thinking, better communication, and more control over daily challenges.
Working with DBT and Mindfulness through Online Care
DBT focuses on practical skills for handling intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive reactions. It is useful for people who want tools to manage strong feelings and improve communication. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention to the present moment and simple exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It helps with anxiety, stress, and staying grounded during hard moments.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Cory will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether DBT, mindfulness, solution-focused steps, or a mix makes the most sense for short- and long-term goals.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth work and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, brief problem solving, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to work on skills consistently while fitting therapy into a busy life.
