About Corey
Corey Pitts is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in North Carolina with 13 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, addictions, parenting pressures, trauma, grief, and related concerns. Sessions are presented in straightforward language and focus on practical steps and clearer communication.
Corey begins by listening to what is most pressing. He helps people name feelings, sort priorities, and try small changes that fit daily life. Conversations often include work on communication, coping skills for anxiety or mood challenges, and addressing hurts from the past.
He uses methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), existential ideas, and Jungian perspectives. Those tools are used to notice patterns, develop new strategies, and make sense of difficult experiences. Sessions mix short-term skill work with deeper personal reflection when that is helpful.
Parents and adults concerned about family relationships or parenting stress can expect clear, practical discussion rather than jargon. Corey will help identify what can change now and what may need more time. He also addresses issues like burnout, compassion fatigue, caregiving strain, and life transitions.
Corey explains options simply and encourages concrete steps between sessions. People leave with specific coping tools, communication practices to try at home, and a plan for next steps. The focus is on manageable change and realistic goals rather than abstract theory.
How sessions work
How Corey uses therapy approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and the client’s experience. It relies on reflective conversation and encouragement to help people clarify what matters and decide next steps. This approach can be useful for someone sorting out parenting choices, relationship concerns, or emotional overwhelm.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thought and behavior. It breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches practical tools for anxiety, depression, and stress. Sessions often include exercises and actions to try between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. It can help with anger, intense mood swings, and relationship conflicts by teaching grounding, distress-tolerance, and interpersonal techniques.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Corey will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. He may combine skill-based work with deeper reflection depending on what helps most.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life. Confirm the current session formats before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving, or travel, and they allow shorter check-ins or camera-off conversations when that helps. Licensed professionals can use these options to make therapy more manageable without changing the core therapeutic work.
