About Corey
Corey Pitts is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in North Carolina with 13 years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, addiction, grief, and family of origin issues as listed in his profile.
Corey helps people notice how early family roles and expectations still affect them today. Sessions often focus on practical communication skills and clearer boundaries. He also addresses mood concerns, coping with life changes, and stress from caregiving or work.
His work blends several approaches. Client-Centered Therapy shapes sessions around the person's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify thinking patterns and test them against real-life outcomes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are applied when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Corey pays attention to relationship patterns, attachment issues, and how abandonment or blended family dynamics show up in adult life. He also supports people facing medical or caregiving stress, chronic illness, and body image concerns. Conversations are direct and focused on steps clients can try between sessions.
People meet him for short-term problem-focused work and for longer therapy when deeper life themes come up. He encourages clear goals, regular check-ins about progress, and practical strategies that fit day-to-day life.
Approaches used in online sessions and practical fit
Client-Centered Therapy places the person and their perspective at the center of sessions. It emphasizes listening to what matters most and shaping conversations around the client's concerns, useful for clarifying values and relationship goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behavioral experiments to test beliefs and build alternative coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides tools for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. It can help when strong reactions, anger, or relationship volatility make daily life harder.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on their goals and everyday constraints. This means agreeing on targets, trying methods for a few sessions, and adjusting as needed.
Confirm current session formats before booking since they are not specified here. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it easier to schedule appointments around work or caregiving. Therapists and licensed professionals can also adjust exercises so they work well in a remote conversation.
