Corey Pitts

Corey Pitts is a licensed counselor in North Carolina who helps people navigate hard emotional moments and life transitions. He is an LCMHC and an LPC with 13 years of experience guiding clients through issues like depression, anxiety, relationship strains, and coping with change.

Corey focuses on clear, practical work in sessions. He helps people strengthen communication skills, build self-compassion, and reduce isolation and shame. He also supports those managing mood and personality concerns and substance-related struggles.

Sessions often cover everyday strains such as workplace stress, parenting pressures, and grief after loss. Corey uses a mix of approaches to match the person’s needs, aiming for tools that fit daily life and real situations.

He draws on client-centered listening to create a calm space for people to tell their story. He pairs that with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when helpful, so people learn concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Corey also brings perspectives from existential and Jungian approaches to help clients reflect on meaning, identity, and deeper patterns. That combination supports people working through major life shifts, figuring out next steps, and building resilience.

If you are coping with life changes, or dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship difficulties, Corey aims to offer steady, practical support while you work toward clearer goals.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and safe to explore difficult feelings and decisions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills can be useful for intense emotions, relationship stress, and managing strong reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can include listening, skill practice, and reflection so the plan evolves as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use different ways of working - such as more skills practice or reflective conversations - that fit their day-to-day life.
