About Corey

Corey Pitts is a licensed clinician practicing in North Carolina. He holds LCMHC and LPC credentials and brings 13 years of experience helping people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and major life changes. He frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on practical steps and emotional understanding.

Corey works with people who want clearer communication, more self-compassion, and relief from loneliness or shame. He also helps those managing mood and personality challenges, addiction concerns, grief, and stress tied to work or caregiving. Sessions are geared toward real-life goals, like improving daily coping and repairing important relationships.

In sessions he blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior methods. He draws on existential and Jungian ideas when it fits a person’s story. That mix lets him balance practical skill-building with deeper reflection on meaning and identity.

Corey aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. He listens for patterns that cause pain and offers tools to change them. He also supports people through transitions such as career shifts, parenting strain, and the long work of healing from past trauma.

He accepts sessions in English and practices in North Carolina. People who want to start can use the site Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and builds self-directed goals and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change upsetting thoughts and behaviors and often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are turbulent.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Corey will talk with each person about their needs and goals and then recommend which methods to try. He aims to match tools and reflections to a person’s life so therapy feels relevant and doable.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to keep continuity during moves or job changes while focusing on practical skills and emotional insight.
