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 works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, mood concerns, addiction, trauma, grief, and related life challenges. Sessions focus on real problems like snapping at loved ones, work frustration, and resentment that builds over time.
He helps people examine how they react and what gets in the way of calm. Conversations cover communication skills, boundaries, intimacy issues, and coping with major life changes. He also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness, self-esteem, and career concerns when they connect to emotional coping.
Corey draws on several practical approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and pacing.
Work together is straightforward and conversational. Sessions often include skill practice, short exercises, and reflection on real-life situations. The therapist helps people test changes between sessions and adjusts techniques based on what works.
Corey also uses existential and Jungian ideas when helpful, bringing questions about meaning, values, and personal patterns into the work. He invites discussion about how past experiences influence present reactions, and he helps people build concrete strategies to manage anger and stress.
People who want practical tools, clearer communication, and steadier mood regulation often find this style useful. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and follow the listed intake steps on the site.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also help people use skills in real-life settings between sessions, then bring immediate examples back to the conversation for practice and adjustment.
