About Cory
Cory Cravalho helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. He is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, based in California. Cory aims to make therapy feel straightforward and approachable for someone who is worried and overwhelmed.
Cory focuses on young adults navigating anxiety and depression and those carrying the emotional weight of trauma. He describes trauma broadly to include sudden, life-changing events and the quieter, ongoing hurts that start in childhood or in relationships.
How Cory works
He also addresses attachment concerns, jealousy, social anxiety, and issues common to veterans and first responders. In sessions he keeps the tone relaxed and honest. He avoids therapy jargon and makes space for direct conversation.
People who are hard on themselves or feel stuck in their heads can expect help noticing patterns and trying different ways of responding. His approach is practical and collaborative. Cory emphasizes understanding what brought someone to therapy and then testing small, manageable changes.
He also supports work on forgiveness, self-love, and rebuilding connection when relationships feel strained. Cory has four years of clinical experience as an LMFT. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for people in California.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches and online therapy options that fit your life
Many people Cory sees benefit from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, feelings, and everyday behavior. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different, more helpful responses to anxiety and depression. This method is useful for stress, worry, low mood, and social anxiety.Another helpful technique looks at how past relationships and early attachments shape current connection and trust. This work examines patterns of closeness and distance and can help with jealousy, relationship walls, and self-esteem challenges. A third focus is practical skills for coping with trauma and intense stress, using gradual steps to reduce overwhelm and rebuild daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cory treats the choice of methods as a collaboration, listening to each person's goals and trying techniques that fit their needs and pace. If something doesn't feel right, he adjusts the plan together with the client.
Online therapy offers flexible options: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat for a quicker check-in, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to stay connected when travel or timing makes in-person sessions difficult.
