About Cory
Cory Berberich is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois. He brings four years of professional counseling experience and several more years in the mental health field to his practice. Cory focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and navigate difficult changes in life.
He uses straightforward, practical methods to address relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and problems with attention and focus. Sessions aim to build skills for coping, improve communication, and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life.
Background and approach
Cory emphasizes collaboration and clear goals in each session. Before his current work he gained experience in foster care, an autism clinic, and independent practice settings. That background exposed him to a wide range of emotional challenges and ways people respond to stress.
He draws on that variety when tailoring support to a person’s situation. Cory strives to make sessions feel open and nonjudgmental. He encourages people to speak honestly about thoughts and feelings so they can try practical tools right away.
He works to help clients develop routines and steps that fit their real lives. People who are dealing with relationship strain, life transitions, or ongoing worries often seek his support. He also offers help for concerns such as impulsivity, social anxiety, self-harm thoughts, and navigating questions about sexuality and life purpose.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Cory uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where people set the pace and topics. This approach focuses on active listening and working from what matters most to the person seeking help.He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy or DBT skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive behavior. Those are concrete tools that can be practiced between sessions, such as emotion regulation and distress tolerance techniques.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist and client work together to pick methods that fit goals, preferences, and how the person responds to different techniques. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so sessions stay useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills visually. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
