Corey Pitts, LCMHC, LPC

Corey Pitts is a licensed counselor who brings 13 years of experience to his work in North Carolina. He holds the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential and the Licensed Professional Counselor credential. He helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, grief, and the stress of life changes.

Corey focuses on practical skills and human connection. Sessions tend to center on building communication, improving self-esteem, and managing emotions like anger or shame. He also supports people facing mood or personality challenges and those coping with caregiving demands, chronic illness, or aging and geriatric issues.

He uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. That can mean client-centered conversations that follow what matters most to the person, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, or dialectical behavior ideas for emotion regulation. He may bring existential and Jungian perspectives when helpful to explore meaning and personal narrative.

Corey aims to make therapy straightforward and down to earth. People can expect clear goals, tangible tools, and steady support while they practice new ways of coping. He frames change as gradual work done together rather than a quick fix.

To begin, Corey asks people to reflect on what they want to change and what matters most to them. From there he helps set practical steps and checks progress so therapy stays focused and relevant.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and figure out their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing reactive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Corey collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. He checks in regularly and adjusts methods so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online sessions can also help people keep therapy consistent around caregiving responsibilities, work schedules, or medical demands.
