About Cory
Cory Schortzman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska with 26 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, intimacy-related problems, and anger. Cory also focuses on issues like abandonment, codependency, communication problems, infidelity, and process addictions.
Cory’s approach treats the person as the expert on their own life. He listens for what matters to each client and uses that as the starting point for change. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical steps clients can try between meetings.
He draws on client-centered therapy to center the client’s perspective, cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, and emotionally-focused therapy to work directly with relationship patterns. Mindfulness and existential ideas are woven in as useful tools when they fit the client’s goals.
People often come to Cory wanting clearer boundaries, better communication, or to address sexual and process addictions. He talks through relationship and intimacy concerns without judgment and helps clients map small, concrete changes they can practice.
Across his work he pays attention to patterns like people-pleasing, guilt, and isolation. He helps people recognize those patterns and test different ways of responding. The focus stays on what clients want to change and what steps feel doable for them.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Cory often blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused work. Client-centered therapy means the conversation stays focused on the person’s priorities and lived experience, helping them make sense of what matters most. Cognitive behavioral work looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and tests small changes to see what helps. Emotionally-focused methods pay close attention to how people respond in relationships and aim to shift patterns that cause distance or repeated conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cory will help clients decide together which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can evolve as the work progresses.
The biography does not specify which remote session formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, hold shorter check-ins when needed, or meet without traveling. Online work lets clients try specific exercises, practice new communication moves, and bring immediate relationship questions into the session for problem-solving.
