About Kory

Kory Wilson is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah. He brings 11 years of outpatient experience and helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, anger, and mood challenges. He also supports those dealing with life changes, self-doubt, burnout, and concerns about focus or confidence.

He uses practical, straightforward work in sessions. Kory helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and build skills that make daily life easier. Expect clear tools for emotional regulation and steps you can try between appointments.

Sessions are collaborative. Kory listens first, then helps set manageable goals. He encourages clients to notice strengths and practice new habits that support steady progress over time.

His approach draws on client-centered principles and cognitive behavioral ideas, with techniques from dialectical behavior work and mindfulness. That mix is used to help with emotions, thinking patterns, and coping strategies rather than quick fixes.

Kory has experience addressing family and relationship stress without running family therapy sessions by default; he helps individuals navigate communication problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and other related concerns. He also offers support around substance issues, hoarding, end-of-life situations, money worries, and life-purpose questions.

People who prefer clear goals, concrete skills, and a steady, respectful clinician may find his style a good fit. If you want to work on managing anger, improving mood, or handling major life shifts, his background aligns with those aims.

How his approaches fit into online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and strengths. It means the therapist listens closely, reflects what matters to the client, and helps the client set their own goals. This approach helps with motivation, relationship stress, and life decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches concrete techniques to test negative thoughts and try different actions. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and mood management.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. Kory will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt techniques to your goals and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor pacing, homework, and skills practice to your life.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time, which helps people fit therapy into busy days. It can also allow shorter check-ins, focused skill practice, or regular weekly sessions to maintain momentum. Discussing which approach and which session rhythm will likely be most useful is part of the initial planning with the therapist.
