About Cory

Cory Kitt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience in Wisconsin. She offers a warm, collaborative style and uses practical skills to help people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cory emphasizes respect, empathy, and a focus on each person’s goals and strengths.

She has worked in roles including clinical case manager, psychotherapist, and clinical supervisor. That experience shaped a direct, down-to-earth way of working with concerns such as trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and addictive behaviors.

Background and approach

Cory also supports people facing grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and body image or eating issues. Her approach is rooted in client-centered care and strength-based thinking. She blends skill-building methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy with mindfulness and motivational interviewing.

Cory often introduces concrete tools people can use between sessions to manage emotions and handle stress. She values humor and straightforward conversation while treating people with autonomy and compassion. Rather than focusing on labels, she looks at how mental health affects daily life and functioning.

Sessions are collaborative: goals and plans are created together and adjusted over time. Cory provides services in English and practices in Wisconsin. Her background includes work with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism spectrum considerations, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and coping with chronic illness or disaster-related impacts.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person without judgment and supporting their own goals. In sessions Cory listens actively and helps clients identify what matters most to them and which changes feel realistic.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses simple, practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching steps people can practice between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for tolerating distress, regulating emotion, and sharpening communication skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Cory works together with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options give flexibility for busy schedules, allow for continued work during life changes, and make it easier to use skills in real-world moments. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to these formats so clients keep making progress without extra travel.

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.
