Cory Schortzman

Cory Schortzman is a licensed counselor with 26 years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and anger. He also supports those facing relationship and intimacy-related struggles. Cory approaches work with straightforward, respectful care aimed at practical change.

He emphasizes that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Sessions are built around listening first, then finding small, usable steps toward better days. Cory draws on tools from client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques to address patterns that cause pain.

When relationships are strained by infidelity, pornography, or sexual addiction, Cory focuses on rebuilding connection and understanding behaviors that hurt trust. He uses emotionally focused ideas to help partners talk about needs and feelings without blame. He also helps individuals reconnect to self-worth and address shame and isolation.

Cory mixes mindfulness exercises and existential questions to help people find meaning and calm in midlife or major transitions. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is unsure about change or feels stuck with impulses or addictive behaviors. Progress is paced to fit each person’s readiness.

He holds LPC, which is Licensed Professional Counselor, and LIMHP, which is Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner. Cory works from Colorado and offers services in English. He welcomes international clients and focuses on creating a collaborative path forward.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, anger, and compulsive habits by breaking issues into small, manageable steps.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on feelings and attachment needs in close relationships. It helps partners name emotions, lower blame, and practice new ways of connecting when trust has been damaged.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick tools that match a person's goals, needs, and comfort level. Choices can change as progress is made, with the client guiding what feels most helpful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick conversation will help, or sessions that rely less on video when bandwidth or comfort is a concern. Because the original profile does not specify which formats are used, confirm available session types before booking to ensure they fit your routine.
