Online therapy informed by proven approaches
Corey Pitts draws from established therapy methods that can be adapted to online sessions in a practical, supportive way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviors and trying new responses that better support daily functioning - a helpful fit for concerns like stress, anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem challenges.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication. It can be especially useful when emotions feel intense, relationships feel strained, or it is hard to stay grounded during conflict or major life transitions. Corey also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes empathy and a steady therapeutic relationship so clients can explore feelings, values, and goals at a pace that feels manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Corey collaborates with clients to clarify what they want from therapy, what has or has not helped in the past, and which strategies feel most natural, then adjusts the work as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, continue care during life changes, and choose a format that matches comfort level and communication style.
