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 stress, anxiety, relationship problems, anger, mood concerns, addictions, and related life changes. He also lists areas such as grief, parenting strain, intimacy issues, and career stress among his focus areas.
Corey helps people talk through patterns that keep them stuck. He uses plain talk and practical steps to handle anger, resentments, and workplace frustration. Sessions look at how thoughts, behaviors, and relationships interact when frustration builds up.
His approach draws on Client-Centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective and autonomy. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns, plus Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation. He may include existential and Jungian ideas when they fit a person's concerns.
In sessions Corey works on skills such as clearer communication, managing strong feelings, and planning for better reactions. He supports people coping with trauma, chronic stress, or shifts like caregiving or illness. He also helps people who want coaching-style support for career or life transitions.
Corey offers straightforward, practical work rather than abstract theory. He encourages noticing what actually happens between you and others, then practicing different choices. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's matching flow.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person's own concerns and priorities. Online sessions using this approach emphasize the client's perspective and pacing, helping people identify what matters most and set practical goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions interact. Online CBT often includes short exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that can be practiced between sessions to address anger, anxiety, and low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills. These practical tools help with intense feelings, interpersonal conflicts, and impulsive reactions that often show up in anger issues.
Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. Corey will work with each person to choose which approaches match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust as work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support skill practice between meetings. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises and plans so they can be used in daily life rather than only in the therapy hour.
