Cory Schortzman, LPC, LIMHP

Cory Schortzman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) with 26 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, intimacy-related issues, and anger. Cory emphasizes practical steps and steady support for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

He works from the view that each person knows their own story best. Sessions focus on clear goals and small changes that add up over time. Cory uses calm listening, targeted questions, and gentle challenges to help clients move past roadblocks and regain confidence.

His background includes long-term clinical work across Colorado and Nebraska, where he has supported people with process addictions such as pornography and gambling. He also addresses issues like infidelity, communication problems, codependency, and midlife transitions. That experience informs a flexible approach tailored to the concern at hand.

Cory combines Client-Centered ideas with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused techniques when helpful. He also brings mindfulness and existential perspectives into sessions to help people find meaning and better manage distress. The methods are chosen to match the person's needs rather than follow a single formula.

People who reach out can expect direct, respectful conversation and an emphasis on practical tools. Cory aims to help clients reestablish connection in relationships, reduce compulsive behaviors, and build healthier patterns for daily life.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on accepting, nonjudgmental listening and helping people clarify their goals. It is useful for building trust and encouraging people to take ownership of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, compulsions, or unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people identify and express emotions more clearly to improve connection in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cory will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying a method, checking how it feels, and adjusting plans based on what is most helpful for the client.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins, or remove travel time. Online work can also make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to address relationship or intimacy concerns from a familiar setting. Licensed professionals will discuss practical arrangements and tailor session pacing to each person's needs.
