About Cori

How Cori works
Cori listens for what matters most to each person and shapes sessions around those priorities. Her background includes seven years of professional practice as a licensed social worker in Kansas. Cori holds the LSCSW credential, which she uses in community and clinical settings.
That experience informs how she helps people facing grief, chronic illness, end-of-life concerns, and caregiving strain. Cori draws from several therapeutic approaches to match the needs of each person. She blends client-centered talking, cognitive-behavior strategies, existential reflection, Jungian perspectives, and mindfulness practices depending on the issue.
This mix lets her address problems like attachment wounds, communication difficulties, control issues, and impulsivity. Practical concerns are part of the work. Cori helps people with decision points such as divorce or forgiveness, and with identity questions including gender dysphoria and body image.
She also provides support around health-related issues like chronic pain and HIV/AIDS.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects feelings, and helps clarify what matters most. This approach is helpful for people who need a steady space to sort through emotions and decide on next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses simple, structured techniques to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cori will collaborate to identify which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts the mix of talking, skill practice, and reflection as the work progresses.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or mobility challenges. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible, ongoing ways to check in between sessions or to use shorter, more frequent touchpoints.
Across formats, licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic approaches to help people build skills, process difficult experiences, and make changes that matter to them.
