Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cory commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). ACT emphasizes accepting difficult thoughts and emotions while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action - it can help people who are struggling to adjust after loss or chronic health changes. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. DBT offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for those coping with intense emotions or relationship strain.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Cory works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with Cory is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing health concerns, caregiving, or geographic limitations. Remote sessions make it easier to maintain consistent care, access support from home, and fit therapy into busy schedules while still working with a trained therapist.
