Step 3
How Cory’s approaches shape online therapy
Online work can use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map how thoughts affect feelings and actions. In this method clients learn specific techniques to change unhelpful thinking, reduce anxiety, and manage mood swings. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships influence well-being and helps people build clearer expectations and safer ways of relating to others.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cory will talk with each person about concerns, goals, and what feels most useful. Together they try an approach, check how it’s working, and adjust the plan based on real progress and preferences.
If you want online care, confirm the session formats available before booking so they match your needs. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, whether by reducing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting someone choose audio or video based on comfort and bandwidth. Ask about current session options when you schedule so the format fits your routine.
