About Corey

Corey Pitts is a licensed counselor who brings 13 years of experience to clients in North Carolina. He is credentialed as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, anger, addictions, and grief.

Corey focuses on practical skills people can use day to day. He listens for what matters most, then works with each person to set clear goals. Sessions often include learning ways to manage emotions, improve communication, and handle big life changes.

He uses a mix of approaches that fit the client rather than a one-size-fits-all model. That can mean exploring thoughts and behaviors with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, strengthening emotional regulation skills with Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or centering conversations on the client’s experience with Client-Centered Therapy.

Corey also offers work around identity and trauma, including support for LGBT concerns, coping with past abuse, and healing from shame and isolation. He helps people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, and other overlapping issues.

People who come to Corey typically want straightforward help with coping, clearer relationships, and steadier mood management. He aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space so clients can try new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience first. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead, helping people clarify their values and choices. This approach is useful for building self-understanding and addressing shame or isolation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions often include concrete exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger management.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. It provides step-by-step tools for handling intense feelings and improving communication in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Corey will help clients decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Decisions about technique are collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and enable therapy from different locations. Because the original profile does not specify session formats, confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available and what will work best for day-to-day life.
