About Cory
Cory Schortzman is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, intimacy-related issues, and anger. He brings 26 years of experience and works from a practical, respectful stance. Cory emphasizes clients' strengths and partners with them as they take steps toward change.
He draws on several therapy approaches to match the work to each person's goals. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client, building clearer communication, and developing coping skills for urges and emotional ups and downs. Cory pays attention to patterns such as codependency, abandonment fears, and shame that often fuel difficult behaviors.
Cory also addresses specific concerns like process addictions (porn, exercise, gambling), obsessive or compulsive behaviors, impulsivity, and issues around infidelity and forgiveness. He helps people facing midlife transitions, feelings of isolation, and struggles with self-love. Men’s wellbeing is an area he lists among his focuses.
In practice he uses Client-Centered techniques to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Emotionally-Focused ideas to work through intense feelings. Mindfulness and existential approaches also inform conversations about meaning, values, and present-moment coping.
His licenses include Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP). Cory is based in Colorado and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients follow the site’s matching and scheduling process.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. Online conversations using this approach let the therapist follow the client's lead and highlight strengths that can support change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions CBT often includes setting goals, trying small behavior changes between meetings, and reviewing what worked or didn’t work in daily life.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work through strong emotions tied to relationships and intimacy. Online sessions can provide space to notice emotional patterns and practice new ways of responding to intense feelings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Cory will collaborate with each person to select methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single method to every case.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy schedule and options for shorter check-ins when needed. The therapist biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Licensed professionals can use online work to support progress on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, and men's wellbeing without requiring travel.
