About Corey

Corey Pitts is a licensed clinician practicing in North Carolina. He holds the LCMHC credential (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) and the LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and brings 13 years of experience to his work. He focuses on helping people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn. Corey works with people on depression and anxiety as well as mood and personality concerns like bipolar disorder. He helps people manage stress, relationship struggles, anger, addiction, grief, and self esteem issues. He also supports those facing caregiving strain, chronic illness, and major life changes. His style is compassionate and straightforward. Sessions are tailored to each person's situation and goals. Corey listens for what matters most, then helps build practical skills for communication, emotion regulation, and coping. He uses a mix of approaches to match the person in front of him. That can mean focusing on thoughts and behaviors, practicing mindfulness and distress-tolerance skills, or exploring deeper life meaning and inner patterns. The aim is to help people feel more capable and more connected to their values. Corey invites clients to talk through daily challenges and longer-term patterns. He emphasizes steady, realistic steps people can try between sessions. If you want help sorting priorities, managing intense feelings, or building self worth, he offers steady, experienced support.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own experience and goals. Sessions focus on listening, empathy, and helping people name what matters most so they can decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for anger, relationship strain, and mood instability.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Corey will work with each person to choose and adapt methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps make sessions feel relevant and useful from the first meetings.

If you prefer online work, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, support shorter check-ins, and allow people to use quieter surroundings or less bandwidth when needed. Talk with Corey about what would make sessions most workable for you and how to shape therapy around your life.
