About Cary

Cary Truley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, person-centered therapy. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and issues related to self-esteem and motivation. Cary centers sessions on respect and compassion while tailoring a plan to each person's needs.

He uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels stuck and why. That often means working on coping skills for anxiety, thinking patterns that feed depression, and steps to rebuild confidence. Cary also supports people navigating grief, trauma, addiction concerns, and life changes that feel overwhelming.

Cary brings eight years of professional experience and draws on several therapeutic approaches to fit each person. He blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to explore values and action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking, and Client-Centered techniques to keep the work focused on the person's goals.

People who seek help around relationships, parenting stress, fatherhood issues, or challenges tied to LGBT identity will find these topics within his practice focus. He also addresses related concerns such as attachment issues, communication problems, body image, and caregiver stress.

Sessions are offered in English and take place in Colorado. Cary asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that works for them. Therapy subscriptions can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location and therapist availability.

How Cary's approaches work for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small, committed steps toward those values. It can help when worry or low mood keeps someone from doing what they care about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and low motivation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead to help them find their own solutions and build confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cary will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try. The decision is collaborative and can change over time based on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let someone choose sessions that focus on skills practice, values-based planning, or talk-based processing depending on what they need at the moment.
