About Cary
Cary Truley is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. He uses straightforward, practical sessions to address problems like low self-esteem, depression, addiction concerns, and issues related to LGBT identity. Cary works from Colorado and brings eight years of counseling experience to his practice.
He favors plain talk and collaborative planning. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs, with room to adjust goals and techniques as progress happens.
Background and approach
Cary emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in conversations so clients can feel heard while working toward change. Cary draws on several evidence-informed approaches to meet varied needs. He uses cognitive behavioral methods to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build commitment, and client-centered approaches to create a calm space for honest conversation.
He may introduce behavioral skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation or strong reactions are present. Typical concerns he addresses include anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and family problems, grief, parenting strain, career stress, and challenges tied to attention differences or autism. He also supports people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, and identity-related struggles.
Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging. Cary asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to his availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to name what matters to them and take small, values-driven actions even when anxiety or difficult thoughts appear. This approach can help with ongoing worry, life changes, and motivation struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and then practicing new responses. It is useful for worry, low mood, and habit change like managing addictive behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. A therapist might teach short breathing, grounding, or communication exercises drawn from DBT when strong reactions or relationship conflicts come up.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Cary will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, strengths, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress is made so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are close to in-person conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging makes it easier to keep momentum between meetings. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
