About Cory

Cory Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and changes in life circumstances. Cory also focuses on codependency and related issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, and communication problems.

Cory keeps sessions direct and practical. He helps people notice recurring patterns, clarify what they want, and practice new ways of saying no or asking for what they need. Meetings typically include skill-building around communication and emotion regulation alongside space to talk through difficult events.

He often helps people who feel lost in another person's needs or who find themselves caretaking at their own expense. Cory pays attention to how past relationships shape current behavior and to ways clients can set clearer boundaries. He describes treatment in simple terms and breaks tasks into small, workable steps.

Work with him may include addressing mood swings, coping with major life changes, or managing stress linked to work and relationships. Cory also supports people navigating adoption or foster care histories, blended family stress, caregiving burden, and nontraditional sexual cultures such as kink. He includes discussion of how these concerns affect daily functioning.

Sessions are collaborative and focused on problem-solving. Cory uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people develop coping strategies and improve communication. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Two common evidence-based approaches used in general practice are cognitive-behavioral techniques and skills-based emotion regulation work. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments; this helps with anxiety, stress, and relationship worries. Skills-based emotion regulation teaches simple steps to notice feelings, reduce overwhelm, and respond differently in heated moments, which can help with mood swings and codependent reactions.

Choosing which approach to use is part of the process. The therapist and client decide together which strategies fit current goals and daily life. That collaborative selection means techniques can be adjusted over a few sessions until they feel useful and manageable.

If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the exact formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel barriers. Some people prefer not being on camera for quick progress checks, while others use live video for deeper skills practice. Discussing these options during the intake helps shape sessions around what will actually work for everyday life.
