About Cory
Cory Schortzman, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP), holds licenses in Colorado and Nebraska and has 26 years of clinical experience. He works on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, and anger. He describes his approach as believing clients are experts on their own stories and focuses on building on strengths to address challenges.
Cory uses a mix of practical methods in sessions. He draws from Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns. He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy for attachment and intimacy concerns and incorporates mindfulness and existential ideas when helpful.
Sessions focus on concrete problems like pornography or process addictions, infidelity, communication problems, and issues around abandonment or codependency. He also works with anger, compulsive behaviors, and feelings of shame or isolation. Conversations aim to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning through skill practice and clearer understanding.
Cory states he helps individuals and couples restore relationship intimacy and address sexual addictions and pornography concerns. He emphasizes collaborative work, asking questions, and experimenting with different strategies rather than prescribing a single path.
He frames early sessions as a way to clarify goals and prioritize small, achievable changes. Over time the work shifts to maintaining gains and preventing relapse. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How his approaches work for online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems active. It is useful for anxiety, compulsions, and process addictions by teaching practical skills and experiments.Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotional responses in relationships. It helps people and couples address attachment injuries, rebuild intimacy, and improve communication through structured conversations.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and following the client's priorities. This approach supports people who need space to tell their story and try small, client-led changes.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches based on the client's goals, problems, and preferences. Initial sessions are used to test what helps and to adjust methods over time.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking.
