About Cory
Cory Sullivan is an LCSW who helps people rebuild life after trauma, chronic illness, and major life changes. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and the lasting effects of traumatic events. Cory emphasizes practical steps and steady support so people do not feel alone while they sort things out.
Cory draws on seven years of clinical practice and personal experience recovering from traumatic injury. That lived perspective shapes how he listens and responds. He uses straightforward skills to manage difficult feelings and reduce overwhelm.
In sessions Cory offers concrete tools from approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test kinder, more useful ways of thinking. The work also includes building tolerance for hard emotions and practicing present-moment skills.
He often supports people facing caregiver stress, cancer, aging concerns, and issues common to veterans and first responders. He also addresses isolation, guilt, fatherhood concerns, and struggles tied to midlife transitions and men’s wellbeing.
Cory aims for a strengths-based style that starts with what’s working and adds new strategies for current problems. He encourages steady progress through short, practical steps and regular check-ins. People who prefer clear guidance and usable tools may find this approach helpful.
How Cory's approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while letting difficult feelings be present. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cory works collaboratively with each person to try techniques and see what fits their goals and preferences. He tailors strategies over time and adjusts the plan based on what helps in real life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can still make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing quicker check-ins around work or caregiving. It can also let people use phone-only check-ins when bandwidth is limited or shorter sessions when schedules demand a brief reset. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness skills to an online setting to focus on practical tools and steady progress.
