About Cory
Cory Schortzman is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner, LIMHP, with 26 years of clinical experience in Colorado and Nebraska. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, and anger. Cory works with people who are dealing with the fallout of infidelity, pornography or sexual addictions, and those trying to rebuild trust and closeness after breaches.
His style centers on clear, practical conversation. He treats clients as the experts in their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are direct and conversational, with attention to what helps someone function better day to day.
Cory draws from client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person’s needs. He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to notice unhelpful thinking and change patterns that feed anger or anxiety. Emotionally-focused tools are used to look at how emotion and connection affect relationships.
Mindfulness practices and existential questions may appear in sessions when they fit the goals. These approaches are used to help people tolerate uncomfortable feelings and make clearer choices about their relationships and behavior.
People who come for help with intimacy or process addictions can expect work that addresses patterns, responsibility, and practical steps for repair. Cory emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes, and he helps people set realistic goals for change.
How sessions work
How Cory’s approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and trying different actions to change results. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and habits tied to addiction. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape interactions and closeness in relationships, and it can help when anger or hurt keeps people from reconnecting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and experiences, letting the therapist follow what matters most to the client and support their decision-making. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Cory collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He adjusts the focus as progress is made, so the plan can shift from skills practice to emotion work or vice versa. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and let people connect without commuting. Those practical benefits can help maintain steady work on anger, relationships, and addictive behaviors while balancing everyday life.Areas of focus
