About Corey
Corey Pitts is a licensed clinician practicing in North Carolina. He holds the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential - LCMHC, and is also credentialed as an LPC. He brings 13 years of experience to sessions and focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, grief, parenting concerns, and related life challenges.
Corey uses language parents can understand and keeps sessions direct and practical. He listens first, then helps map steps forward.
Background and approach
Sessions can include skills practice, thought work, and attention to patterns that affect day-to-day life. His background includes training in approaches like Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Jungian Therapy. He applies those methods in plain terms so people can use what they learn at home and work.
Corey often helps clients with communication problems, low self-esteem, coping with changes, and compassion fatigue. He also supports people dealing with trauma, intimacy questions, and challenges tied to chronic illness or caregiving stress. People who choose Corey typically want a practical, respectful guide who listens and then helps build coping tools.
He uses a collaborative style and adjusts strategies to fit each person's needs and life circumstances.
Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting challenges
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, listening-first stance. The therapist offers empathy and helps people notice what matters most to them, which can be useful for parenting stress, relationship strains, and general life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It teaches straightforward skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which many people find helpful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when patterns of conflict keep repeating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the client's goals, needs, and preferences. Decisions are made together and adjusted as progress and challenges emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around family schedules, caregiving duties, and work. Therapists can still teach coping skills, do thought work, and practice communication tools effectively through these remote formats.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
