Kory Wilson, LCMHC - Therapist in Utah

About Kory

Kory Wilson is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 11 years of practice. He offers straightforward outpatient therapy for people facing anxiety, depression, stress, and family challenges. Kory focuses on helping clients build emotional skills and practical habits they can use every day.

He uses clear techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and teach ways to manage strong emotions. Sessions emphasize simple, usable tools rather than complicated jargon. Clients learn strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve how they relate to others.

Background and approach

Kory draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered methods to shape sessions. That means he combines skill-building, emotion regulation, and a respectful, listening-centered stance. He helps people try new behaviors and notice real changes in daily life.

Family and parenting concerns are a natural fit within his practice, and he supports work on communication, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and general family problems. He also addresses grief, life changes, mood concerns, and stress tied to money or career pressures. Sessions can include coaching-style conversations, structured skill practice, and mindful techniques to reduce reactivity.

Kory aims to create a collaborative space where goals are practical and progress is measurable. He keeps the work focused on what a client needs to function better at home, work, and in relationships.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy places the person's goals and experience front and center. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is heard, and helps the client set practical goals that matter in daily life. This approach fits well for people who want a supportive, respectful partner in therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying different actions to change outcomes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it teaches specific skills you can practice between sessions. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, adds techniques for emotion regulation and coping with intense feelings when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right mix of methods usually happens together. The therapist will discuss goals and try approaches that match needs and preferences. Clients and therapist adjust strategies over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions can use video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit busy family schedules. Those options make it easier to keep therapy regular, practice skills in real time, and check in between appointments. The result is flexible care that can be woven into everyday life.

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.
