About Corey
Corey Pitts, LCMHC, LPC, is a licensed counselor in North Carolina with 13 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, trauma and abuse, and a broad range of life transitions. His stated approaches include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Jungian Therapy.
Corey helps people improve communication and manage anger. He guides clients through grief, caregiving stress, and challenges related to identity, including LGBT concerns. He also addresses career questions, self-esteem, and coping with chronic illness and pain.
In sessions he uses client-centered methods to listen and orient goals around the person in front of him. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety or depression. Dialectical behavior strategies are used when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are key concerns.
Corey also brings existential and Jungian ideas into therapy for people who want to examine meaning, personal values, and deeper patterns. These approaches are presented in straightforward language and tied to practical steps clients can use between sessions.
He works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family struggles, body image, and commitment concerns. For people facing long-term conditions he addresses co-morbidity, chronic pain, and caregiver burden with a mix of coping skills and problem solving.
Corey offers sessions in English and does not take international clients. Prospective clients can use the site process to match and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s goals. It emphasizes understanding a person’s perspective and building a collaborative plan to address immediate concerns and longer term goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thought patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. It is useful when intense emotions or repeated conflicts make daily functioning harder.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that match those needs. That process is collaborative and may change over time based on what helps most.
Confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter focused check-ins, and let people use quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth options when needed. Licensed professionals use these formats to support regular care and practical skill development without promising a specific outcome.
