About Cory
Cory Schortzman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) with 26 years of experience. He helps people manage stress and anxiety and addresses addictions, relationship strain, intimacy-related concerns, and anger. Cory speaks plain, direct language and encourages people to use their own strengths as part of recovery.
He uses a mix of practical approaches in sessions. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and urges without acting on them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and makes concrete changes. Client-centered work focuses on a person’s goals and experiences, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps with connection and emotional expression.
Cory often supports people dealing with issues like abandonment, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and forgiveness. He also addresses guilt, shame, impulsivity, infidelity, isolation, and men's issues, along with process addictions such as pornography, exercise, and gambling. Sessions aim to reduce distress and restore a sense of control.
Conversations are collaborative and goal-focused. Cory frames the client as the expert on their own life and helps build on existing strengths. He encourages small, practical steps that fit into everyday routines.
Based in Colorado, Cory works with English-speaking clients and accepts international clients. He asks people to take the first step toward clearer goals, then supports them through the process of change.
How Cory’s approaches translate to online therapy
Mindfulness Therapy teaches people to notice thoughts, sensations, and urges without immediately reacting. It can help with anxiety, cravings, and moments of impulsivity by building awareness and small behavioral choices. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience, offering a space to be heard and to set priorities for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts and behaviors into steps and teaches concrete strategies for reducing anxiety, managing compulsions, and changing unhelpful patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of treatment. Cory works collaboratively to find what fits a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. He will discuss options and try methods that match the issues someone wants to address, adjusting plans as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, appointments can avoid travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or make it simpler to continue therapy while traveling. Licensed professionals often find that mindfulness practices, skill-building exercises from CBT, and emotionally focused conversations adapt well to remote sessions, and Cory can help determine what will work best for each person.
