Corey Pitts, LCMHC, LPC

Corey Pitts is a licensed clinician based in North Carolina. He holds LCMHC and LPC credentials and brings 13 years of experience to his practice. He focuses on practical support for people facing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and stress.

Corey centers sessions on clear goals. He helps people learn better communication, manage intense emotions, and cope with difficult life changes. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what a person needs now.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address thinking patterns and emotional regulation. He also draws on existential and Jungian ideas to help people explore meaning and personal values.

Corey often works with people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction, parenting strain, career issues, and compassion fatigue. He pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when they appear. He supports LGBT clients and those coping with medical or chronic illness challenges.

In sessions he listens without judgement and helps people build small, usable skills. Therapy includes practical exercises, thought-work, and steps to change daily habits. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

To begin, Corey asks about the current problem, recent history, and what a better life would look like. From there he and the client set clear, manageable goals and check progress regularly.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Corey often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that reinforce distress. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by focusing on small, testable changes.

He also uses client-centered therapy to keep the work focused on the person's own goals and experience. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a collaborative relationship so the person feels heard and understood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are included when emotional regulation or intense reactions get in the way of daily life. DBT techniques teach concrete strategies for managing emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. Corey collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the approach as progress is seen.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
