About Christopher
Christopher Korty is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 20 years of professional experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, anger, low self-esteem, addictions, trauma and grief. He also supports those facing intimacy issues, eating concerns, parenting questions, career changes, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
His approach aims to be practical and direct. Sessions focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then testing different ways of responding. Christopher uses clear tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and related methods to help people practice new skills between sessions.
He draws on two decades of varied practice when shaping treatment. That includes short-term skill building for stress and anxiety and more sustained work for trauma, mood, and relationship patterns. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to change habits like substance use or lifestyle routines.
In sessions he talks through problems, sets concrete goals, and tracks progress with simple steps. Work often includes learning new coping strategies, improving communication, and planning manageable behavior changes. He invites clients to notice what does and does not work and to adjust plans as needed.
Christopher treats each person as an individual and describes treatment plans in straightforward terms. Prospective clients are encouraged to review online options and the matching process before scheduling a first appointment.
How his CBT, DBT and Motivational Interviewing translate to online work
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and habits, then testing alternative responses through short exercises and between-session practice. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, stress, and behavior change goals.DBT emphasizes concrete skills for regulating strong emotions, reducing reactive behavior, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful when emotion swings or impulsivity interfere with daily life.
Motivational Interviewing concentrates on clarifying what matters to a person and resolving mixed feelings about change. It is commonly used to support changes in substance use, routines, or other habits.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Christopher will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what works for the client. He frames treatment as an active plan with measurable steps and regular check-ins so progress can be reviewed together.
