Background and approach
Cory draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice how thoughts affect feelings and actions. He also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. When trauma is part of the story, he brings trauma-focused methods that respect a person’s pace and limits.
People who do best with Cory tend to want concrete tools and a down-to-earth style. He balances empathy with direct feedback so clients can test small changes and track progress. He also adapts sessions to immediate needs, like coping after a big life change or managing intense emotions.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Cory accepts international clients and works with each person to set realistic goals and steps that fit their daily life.
Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current patterns and helps people notice recurring relationship habits that cause stress. This approach can be useful for those who struggle with connection, trust, or patterns of distance and clinginess.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and managing ADHD-related challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Cory treats it as a team effort. He will talk with each person about goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what works. That collaborative process helps identify which techniques feel helpful and which need changing.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins during a busy day, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching-style contact between sessions. These options support flexibility while you work on skills and goals.
