Corey Pitts, LCMHC, LPC

Corey Pitts is a licensed counselor practicing in North Carolina. He holds LCMHC and LPC credentials and brings 13 years of experience to his work. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship challenges.

Corey aims for a straightforward and compassionate style. Sessions concentrate on practical skills like communication and coping. He helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck and try small, manageable changes.

His work addresses a wide range of concerns including trauma, grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, career stress, and compassion fatigue. He also supports people facing mood and personality concerns and the complex effects of chronic illness or caregiving duties.

Corey draws on several therapeutic approaches to match a person’s needs. He uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to each person. He also relies on cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for emotional regulation.

In sessions he creates space for honest conversation about shame, isolation, and life transitions. He emphasizes building self-compassion, clearer communication, and real-world tools to manage day-to-day problems. If you want practical help and steady support while you work through change, he focuses on partnering with you through that process.

Approaches That Shape Online Care

Corey uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as core parts of his work. Client-centered therapy focuses on following the client's lead, listening closely, and helping people clarify what matters to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.

He also draws from dialectical behavior therapy when emotional intensity and regulation are central concerns. DBT offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and sharpening interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Corey will collaborate with you to select methods that match your goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying different strategies and adjusting the plan as you make progress.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
