About Corey
Corey Pitts is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in North Carolina with 13 years of experience. He helps people who are facing anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction concerns, and the stress of life changes. Sessions focus on practical strategies and clear goals rather than abstract talk.
Corey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and dialectical approaches. He prioritizes skills people can use between sessions, such as noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what someone can try this week to feel a little more in control.
He also supports work on grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and caregiver stress. That includes exploring patterns from attachment and abandonment, and addressing body image or career strain when those show up. The work can include concrete communication practice and planning small changes over time.
Corey draws on existential and Jungian ideas when clients want to look at meaning, identity, or deeper life questions. Those discussions are grounded in simple exercises and reflection rather than theory-heavy lectures. He helps people connect values to everyday choices.
People who reach out can expect direct feedback, short-term skill building, and a focus on measurable next steps. He asks about a client’s current routines and obstacles, then suggests specific practices to try between sessions. The goal is clearer thinking and more workable habits, not vague promises.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Corey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in session. CBT focuses on spotting automatic thoughts, testing them, and changing small behaviors to reduce distress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection so a person can clarify values and decide what changes matter most.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. DBT adds concrete skills for managing strong feelings, handling crises, and improving communication in heated moments. Each approach aims at straightforward skills people can use day to day.
Finding the right mix is collaborative. Corey will talk with a client about goals and try an approach that fits those goals. He checks in and adjusts methods if something isn’t working, so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time.
