Background and approach
Her approach centers on respect, empathy, and the person in front of her. Cory blends client-centered, strengths-based work with skill-building tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people find clearer direction.
Sessions focus on practical steps and coping tools. Cory helps clients identify patterns, try new behaviors, and build skills for managing emotions, sleep, or cravings. She pays attention to how mental health affects daily life and goals.
Working together is collaborative. Cory supports clients in making decisions that fit their values and needs. If someone is ready to change, she aims to offer steady guidance and concrete strategies to move forward.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to change mood and function. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing cravings.Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. It can help with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and coping when stress feels overwhelming.
Client-centered work keeps the conversation focused on the person's experience and choices. This approach emphasizes collaboration, respect, and building on existing strengths to set meaningful goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying tools, adjusting strategies, and checking in about what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth sessions where seeing facial cues helps. Phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer quick, flexible ways to track progress and get support between sessions. These options make therapy more accessible for people juggling work, caregiving, or long commutes.
