How Cori’s approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you. That approach helps people feel heard and guides the pace of work based on their own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. Existential therapy examines questions of meaning, choice, and identity to help people facing major transitions or grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Cori will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She often blends approaches so sessions match current needs rather than following a single technique.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and CBT tools between meetings to reinforce progress. Licensed professionals vary in how they deliver care, and Cori will discuss the best way to structure sessions for practical, everyday needs.
