Cory Schortzman, LPC, LIMHP

Cory Schortzman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) with 26 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, intimacy-related concerns, and anger. Cory emphasizes a respectful, steady approach that centers the person in front of him rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all plan.

He uses clear, practical conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on noticing thought patterns and everyday habits that keep problems going. Cory mixes techniques to help people change unhelpful behaviors, make different choices, and rebuild connection where it has frayed.

His background includes long-term practice in Colorado and Nebraska and work across a range of emotional and behavioral concerns. That experience informs a calm, grounded style that aims to reduce shame and blame while pointing toward workable steps.

Cory often addresses issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, men’s issues, midlife crisis, narcissism, and process addictions like pornography or gambling. He also supports people working on self-love and overcoming obsessive or compulsive patterns.

In sessions, he draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally-focused work, existential questions, and mindfulness exercises. The emphasis is on practical change and clearer thinking so daily life becomes easier to manage.

How Cory’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters to the person. In practice this means sessions start with your concerns and move at your pace while the therapist reflects and clarifies what you say. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and daily habits that keep problems going and uses specific exercises to change them. That approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and many compulsive behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotions and how those feelings shape relationships and closeness. It can be helpful when patterns of withdrawal, anger, or hurt block connection.

Finding the right approach is usually a shared process. Cory will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit, and adjust as needed. The work is collaborative and practical - he looks for small, real changes that make daily life easier.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which options are offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a work break, or letting someone choose an audio-only visit when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises like mindfulness practices or CBT worksheets for remote sessions so the focus stays on changing thoughts and everyday habits.
