About Corey
Corey Pitts is a licensed clinical mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor in North Carolina with 13 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life changes. Corey uses a compassionate, straightforward style so clients can talk about what matters most to them.
Corey helps people build practical skills for everyday life. He works on communication, self-esteem, coping with grief, and managing anger.
Background and approach
He also supports those managing mood conditions, addictions, or the long-term effects of trauma and abuse. Sessions are conversation-based and goal-oriented. Clients explore patterns, try new ways of responding, and practice skills between meetings.
Corey blends different approaches depending on what a person needs in the moment. He pays attention to life context such as career strain, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and identity-related concerns like LGBT issues. The aim is to reduce immediate distress while also addressing deeper patterns that keep problems repeating.
Corey frames therapy as a collaborative process. He listens first, then helps people choose tools that fit their goals and daily life. The focus is on steady progress that feels doable rather than all-or-nothing change.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Corey often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his online work. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person and their goals, with the therapist offering empathic listening and feedback. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to untangle feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides concrete strategies to reduce anxiety and manage mood symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Corey will discuss options and suggest methods that match a persons goals and everyday realities. He aims to collaborate so treatment feels relevant and fits into daily life rather than being imposed from outside.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls support face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or people who find typing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
