About Cary
Cary Truley is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Colorado with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and LGBT-related concerns. He also helps people dealing with relationship strain, parenting questions, addiction challenges, and family of origin issues.
He uses clear, direct conversation to identify patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions often focus on recognizing how early family roles and expectations influence current choices. Cary mixes practical skills with reflective work so clients can try new behaviors between meetings.
His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Client-Centered Therapy. That combination supports learning new coping strategies, practicing emotion regulation, and clarifying values. Cary also brings ideas from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when they fit the client's goals.
In early meetings he prioritizes concrete goals and simple experiments. He helps people break big problems into manageable steps. Homework is straightforward and meant to fit into a busy life.
Cary works in English and sees adults in Colorado. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment via the See online therapy options button.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to name what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It pairs mindful noticing of difficult thoughts with actions that align with personal goals, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying clearer, more useful ways of thinking. It is practical and skill-based, often involving short exercises and between-session practice useful for stress, low mood, and coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then use ACT, CBT, or client-centered methods as a fit. This is a collaborative process where methods can shift as progress or needs change.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how the meetings will be arranged. Online work can make scheduling easier and fit into a busy routine, such as brief check-ins during a lunch break or sessions without needing to travel. It can also allow different formats that suit energy levels or attention span, like a shorter video or an audio call. Ask about specific session arrangements when you complete the matching questionnaire so logistics match your day-to-day life.
