About Cary
Cary Truley, LPC, is licensed in Colorado and has eight years of clinical experience. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, LGBT concerns, self-esteem, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma, grief, parenting, anger, career questions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. He describes his approach as a tailored dialogue that adapts to each person's situation and goals.
Cary uses a mix of evidence-based approaches to guide sessions. He often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take values-based action. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques when emotion regulation and relationships are central concerns.
In sessions he focuses on clear, practical steps. He helps people build coping skills for anxiety and stress. He works on communication and problem solving for relationship or family struggles. He addresses patterns that undermine confidence and motivation.
He has particular experience with attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, avoidant personality patterns, blended family matters, body image, caregiver stress, and fatherhood issues. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and recovery from addictive behaviors.
Cary frames therapy as a collaborative process. He adapts pacing and techniques to what a person needs that week. Sessions aim to produce measurable changes in mood, behavior, and daily functioning. He offers services in English and practices in Colorado.

How Cary’s approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change thinking patterns and behaviors that worsen mood or anxiety. It is useful for stress, depression, and practical problem solving. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values to move forward when avoidance or uncertainty gets in the way.Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides tools for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when anger, emotional instability, or relationship conflict are central concerns. Cary will work with each person to choose which methods to emphasize and will adjust the plan as goals change.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which techniques fit their needs and preferences. This collaborative process includes tracking progress and changing strategies when something is not working.
