About Christopher
Christopher Korty helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. He also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, addictions, anger, ADHD, and struggles with self-esteem and intimacy. Christopher holds an LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina, with 20 years of experience.
His approach is direct and practical. He listens first, then sets simple goals you can work on between sessions. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
How Christopher works
He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and motivational interviewing to build readiness for change. Sessions are conversational and focused. Christopher tailors interventions to each person rather than following a rigid program.
He helps people break problems into small, manageable steps and practices new skills in real life. He has worked across many settings over two decades, which shaped a flexible style that fits different needs. He pays attention to communication patterns and impulsivity alongside mood and coping skills.
Christopher aims to create a respectful space where people can try new ways of handling problems. If someone wants help with career direction, forgiveness work, or finding life purpose, he brings practical tools and questions that move those topics forward. The work is collaborative and paced to the person's goals and readiness.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches work online
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to change behaviors and mood. It helps with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and many everyday problems. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. It is useful when impulsivity or intense feelings get in the way of daily life. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to strengthen motivation for change by exploring personal goals and ambivalence; it can help with addictions, behavior change, and readiness to try new strategies.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when hands-free conversation helps. Chat or text sessions are useful for brief check-ins, practice between appointments, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
