How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Christopher Korty commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in his work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger that comes from automatic thoughts. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to help manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive responses.Motivational Interviewing is also part of his toolkit and is aimed at strengthening a person’s own motivation to change behaviors, such as those linked to addictions or sticking with new coping strategies. He treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and how methods feel in practice, then adjust the plan together over time.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, support shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow skills practice that connects directly to daily routines. The therapist will discuss which session cadence and format match the client’s schedule and goals during the intake process.
