    About Cory

    Cory Schortzman is a licensed counselor practicing in Colorado with 26 years of experience. He helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and address relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Cory aims to make the first step less daunting and to support people as they pursue more satisfying lives.

    He focuses on restoring connection after challenges such as pornography use, infidelity, and sexual addiction. Cory encourages clients to recognize their strengths and to use those strengths to face difficult patterns. He approaches difficult conversations with patience and a practical focus on what can change.

    Cory uses several therapeutic styles to fit different needs. He centers sessions on the person in the chair, listens for motivation to change, and offers tools to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Treatment blends gentle reflection with concrete skills practice when needed.

    Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Cory helps people name patterns, try small experiments, and evaluate what helps. He also works through issues tied to guilt, shame, abandonment, codependency, and loneliness.

    Across decades of practice, Cory has supported people through midlife concerns, men’s issues, and the fallout from separation or divorce. He draws on experience rather than one-size-fits-all answers. The aim is clearer priorities, better communication, and renewed confidence in taking next steps.

  2. How Cory’s Approach Fits Online Therapy

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. It often includes small experiments and practical exercises that can be done between sessions to reduce anxiety or change habits.

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on finding and strengthening a person’s own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation before attempting major steps. This approach can be helpful for addictions and ambivalence about relationship repair.

    Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cory will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then tailor methods to what feels most helpful. He works together with clients to try different techniques and see what fits.

    Because the therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Ask about the session lengths and formats offered so you can plan what works best for your routine.
