Therapeutic Approaches Offered Online

Cory integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotionally-focused therapy into his online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration - the therapist follows the client's pace and goals while helping them draw on personal strengths and meaning, which is useful for building self-confidence and addressing relationship or life-direction concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to manage stress, anxiety, compulsions, or addictive patterns. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps couples and individuals understand emotional patterns and create safer, more connected ways of relating, making it especially helpful for intimacy and relationship recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cory works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions over time and adjusts focus as progress unfolds, inviting clients to take an active role in shaping their care.

Online therapy with Cory is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, geographic distance, or differing comfort levels with communication. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access support from wherever clients are located, and integrate therapy into daily life with fewer barriers.
