About Corey
Corey Pitts is a licensed counselor who works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. He holds LCMHC and LPC credentials and brings 13 years of clinical experience in North Carolina. Corey aims for clear, straightforward work in sessions.
He listens first, then helps people name what feels out of balance. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between meetings to notice change. Corey uses a mix of approaches based on what the person needs.
Background and approach
He draws on client-centered work to follow each person's priorities. He also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT skills for managing strong emotions. People come to him for many concerns, including stress, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction struggles, mood differences such as bipolar and depression, and questions about intimacy or identity.
He also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, work pressure, and commitment or communication problems. Sessions aim to build coping skills, improve communication, and reduce the power of painful memories or recurring patterns. Corey explains things plainly and checks in about progress so plans can shift when needed.
He encourages a collaborative pace. If someone wants coaching around career or parenting, or help with deeper exploration of meaning and identity, he adapts the conversation to those goals.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Corey combines practical, skills-based methods with an emphasis on each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and improve communication. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening closely and tailoring the work to the client's goals, helping people feel heard and steering sessions by what matters most to them.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Corey discusses options with each person, checks what feels useful, and adjusts methods as goals evolve. Therapy is shaped by the client's needs, values, and preferences so techniques are applied in ways that make sense for daily life.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice skills in real time, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options increase flexibility and help people keep continuity of care while juggling work, caregiving, or other commitments.
