More about Corey

  • 9 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCMHC, LPC

Devoted to not only assist you in embarking on a journey of self-discovery, but also, ways in which you can best utilize the gifts that you possess! I am an ambitious, strength based counselor yearning to change the ways that we view mental health. I graduated from Lenoir Rhyne University where I obtained a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. My professional credentials include Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon, Qualified Supervisor (QS), Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS), and Certified Clinical Supervisor (CCS) in the state of North Carolina.

My expertise stems in the treatment and management of co-occurring disorders, of which include experience in working with low motivation/self-esteem, life adjustments, trauma-related difficulties, anxiety/depression, substance use difficulties, as well as aspects of various mood and personality disorders (borderline, narcissistic, etc)! Although I consider myself to have knowledge in several treatment interventions, I utilize a combination of strength based and behavioral interventions, of which include Solution Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy with Choice Theory, as well as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (CBT/DBT).

My approaches to counseling are grounded in holistic wellness and choice theory. Holistic approaches include inquiry about different aspects that make up your life and that you believe contribute to making you well or less well. These areas are integrative health approaches that focus on mental, body, spiritual, emotional, and connection wellness. I also harness skills to allow for further assessment and inquiry surrounding informed food choices, potential food allergies, as well as supplementation to aid with mental health improvements. Choice theory is an approach that focuses on our motivation to pursue a never-ending quest to satisfy 5 basic needs woven into our genes: to love and belong, to be powerful, to be free, to have fun and to survive.

I encourage all individuals to lean into the collaborative process between therapist and client to find solutions to better your mental health. This therapy pursuit also facilitates a process of taking responsibility for the perceptions and responsibilities of choices in your life. I adopt philosophies that adopt a bio-psycho-social lens to most assist individuals in taking ownership of their lives once again.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Corey is amazing! Very helpful therapist!

Aug 2024

I have been in therapy with Corey for almost two years now, and I can honestly say that my life today is completely different from when I started therapy. Corey has helped me work through and accept significant trauma in my life and continues to be this beacon of light for me. He's incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and you can just tell he truly cares about his clients. Thank you, Corey, for helping me to change my life and find my voice. :-)

Jul 2024

Corey is an amazing person to talk with and work with. He's always made me feel valid in my feelings and my situation and has worked with me to help with my mental health struggles and also provided an outlet for me to express the feelings I least often express.

Feb 2024

I've only been with Corey for two weeks. This was my first experience with a therapist. Corey has helped me navigate through some very difficult emotions that I had going on. He has checked in on me periodically between sessions. I highly recommend Corey to anyone who needs someone who is going through a rough time in life and feel like you're all alone and don't know how to process all what's going on mentally and emotionally. He's does really well at helping you sort through what's going on in a comfortable and non judgemental manner.

Feb 2024

Corey is great at listening and offering concrete suggestions/solutions that lead to positive change.

Feb 2024

Corey is an excellent provider- he has listened and considered everything I've brought up and has been flexible in tackling the things I'd like to focus on first. He's provided a variety of helpful resources and coping mechanisms. I cannot recommend him highly enough

May 2023

In my months meeting with Corey for therapy, I have seen an improvement in my mental health, as Corey is able to listen very thoroughly and address each concern with care and consideration. I've enjoyed meeting with him and I look forward to continuing treatment with him.

Dec 2023

Corey has been incredibly patient and helpful in my mental health journey. Especially through my constantly shifting and crazy schedule he has never not worked with me and helped me navigate my life.

Oct 2023

Corey is highly skill and quickly attunes to where I’m at and what I need. He establishes trust and rapport and Mai twins continuity with what I’m working on and progress toward my goals.

Sep 2023

Very caring and respectful. He is considerate of what kind of things I need help with.

Aug 2023

Corey is very well trained, provides with thought out questions that lead to a very thought provoking response. Highly recommend!

Aug 2023

Corey is patient, consistent and fosters an open dialogue without any sense of pressure or expectation.

Jun 2023

Corey is amazing. Responsive and attuned to where I’m at and where I want to be.

May 2023

I've been working with Corey over the past weeks. I truly thinks he cares abd he's easy to talk to. He checks up on me if I fail to check in if it's been a few days- that means a lot. He offers me ways/tools to help me overcome the many obstacles that I face on a daily basis. I would greatly recommend Corey as a very empathetic, patient and non-judgmental counselor.

Apr 2023

I have been working with Corey for almost 7 months now and I feel as if I finally found a therapist who is responsive, compassionate, and someone who takes the time to know and understand me. The trauma work I have been doing with Corey has quite literally changed my life over these last months and I feel I'm on track to living my best life and also understanding my trauma on a level I never thought possible. His responses in the chat are always thorough, detailed and timely. He always manages to get straight to the point and puts words to what I'm feeling so I can understand myself on a different level. Face-to-face video sessions are never awkward and I appreciate his flexibility even with our time difference. My work with Corey has quite literally changed my life for the better.

Mar 2023

Corey is a wonderful person that touches the hearts of people. He is thoughtful, and understanding to my feelings and help me find different ways to cope with my situation. Highly recommend considering Corey!!!

Mar 2023

Wonderful and talented therapist. I would recommend Corey for anyone. He listens and gives sound advice. I will be going to Corey for a while because of his professionalism.

Feb 2023

Corey is punctual, involved, and has a genuine concern for my well-being, and I'm looking forward to continuing therapy with him.

Apr 2023

I have really enjoyed having Corey Pitts. He is a very good listener and he always responds back with thought provoking responses/questions. I always feel like he really listens to every feeling, concern, or just in general seems very in tune with me and my healing process. He also remembers family members or friends names of people I regularly bring up in therapy phone calls. It’s much easier to express myself knowing when I reference a sister or friend he is aware of who I’m talking about without reexplaining who they are each time. Corey seems very knowledgeable in his field and I would highly recommend him to others. He is also very timely for all phone sessions When he is unavailable to have a call he always checks on through messenger, so I never really feel like I can’t express myself any given week. He is also extremely professional which is important to me when it comes to therapy. Corey seems very intelligent and when we speak I like knowing he is highly aware of where I am at emotionally, and mentally . Again I would highly recommend him to other BetterHelp future clients.

Apr 2023

Corey is very insightful and provides a welcoming environment to share. He’s very detail oriented and will assist the flow of conversation by asking about talking points from previous sessions to see how they have improved. Corey is also good at providing possible phrasing of conversations they may need to be had with others to set appropriate boundaries. Very much enjoy therapy with Corey!

Feb 2023

Corey is doing great!

Jan 2023

Corey provides thoughtful feedback and really helps you think through your troubles. He'll never shame or judge you when sharing, something I was self-conscience about before starting therapy. I've always received positive reinforcement or an alternative perspective to help guide me on my self-discovery. I HIGHLY recommend Corey!

Jan 2023

Corey is a thoughtful and responsive therapist. Although I know he serves many patients, he always makes me feel as thought I am the most important. His attention to details and checking on me regularly shows his dedication.

Nov 2022

Corey is a wonderful, caring, uplifting, patient person that answers in a timely manner. He has the upmost respect on peoples emotion, physical or mental. Corey also provides worksheets that are essential to my problems. His sympathy and empathy is what drew me in continuing BetterHelp, and better yet continuing to communicate when we can. Thanks Corey!!!

Nov 2022

Corey is great!

Nov 2022

Corey seems very insightful. He does send worksheets and his texts are very helpful and informative. I would recommend him to a friend if needed.

Oct 2022

Corey is a warm and thoughtful person. I most appreciate Corey’s reliable, timely outreach and responses to my messages as well as the positive viewpoint and spirit of curiosity reflected in his feedback and guidance.

Sep 2022

I've been working with Corey for only a couple of weeks and I have never covered so much ground with a therapist before! Corey has a very straight-forward approach that gets to the nitty-gritty of the issues at hand. I love how his questions encourage me to stop and think and are stated in such a way that allows me to work toward a solution on my own with his guidance. Corey only does messaging through BetterHelp, but that actually works better for me. He responds quickly and thoroughly to the point that I feel I am getting so much more out of this than past face-to-face therapy sessions. I highly recommend!

Sep 2022

Corey pitts is a great therapist he give great advice also supports my feelings and gives me insite on if I'm going at things in a correct manner

Sep 2022

I have just started therapy with Corey and already feel like my life is changing for the better because his comments and considerations are detailed are thought provoking. You have to put in the work to challenge your thought life from the get go and doing that impartially through a trained therapist as opposed to family or friends is quite a remarkable experience. I highly recommend Corey Pitts.

S.H.·Aug 2022

Corey is fantastic. We have built a rapport very quickly that has made casual conversation very easy. That casual conversation has been so critical to analyzing the variables in my life that effect my mental health. Highly recommend Corey to anyone, especially those who are unceartain about therapy.

G.R.·Jul 2022

He’s great

P.A.·Jun 2022

I had been text messaging with Corey for about a month now. Although he is limited to texting or voice recordings I have not found this to be an issue. If anything, he leverages text messaging to assist in constructing well thought out responses to one's questions and concerns. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a therapist but may be too shy to voice or just simply appreciate a slower pace to questions and answers.

A.N.·May 2022

Corey has been great thus far. I feel listened to. Just in our short discussions he has asked question that have helped me think outside of my typical patterns. I'm looking forward to further conversation and work.

J.O.·Mar 2022

Corey is an approachable and direct therapist. He responds quickly, and his suggestions (tools) and direction have been helpful and productive as I apply them to my situation.

L.E.·Mar 2022

Corey was the third therapist I tried on BetterHelp. The only one that would allow me to utilize just messaging which I needed for my busy lifestyle. I mesh well with his personality. He is thoughtful. Would definitely recommend.

C.A.·Mar 2022

So far in my sessions with Corey, he has been the type of counsellor I needed. He is professional, empathetic, and offers multiple tools for my success. Corey allows me to speak how I am feeling and asks me constructive questions to help me think deeper about the things I need to improve. Corey replies promptly which is really nice for clients looking for more of a messaging centred experience! Thank you so much Corey! Your support has been such a difference in my life.

A.S.·Dec 2021

Great therapist that respects you and your beliefs. But only communicates via message at the time this review was written.

L.A.·Oct 2021

Very attentive and perceptive counselor.

B.I.·Jun 2021

Great couselor!

M.A.·Jun 2021

He hasn’t been my counselor for very long, but I can tell he is professional and actually cares a little. It isn’t just an extra paycheck.

J.U.·May 2021

Corey Pitts is awesome. I have had a couple different therapists in my journey to find Corey. Corey makes me feel heard and he is always understanding and has great advice. He always seems very enthusiastic when we talk and he is quick to reply. I would definitely recommend him!!

S.H.·May 2021

Excellent job. Always helpful, gives good advice and has plenty of ideas. Would recommend.

J.E.·Apr 2021

Corey has been very helpful with asking me questions to fully understand my situation and offering suggestions. He is patient and kind and easy to talk to.

M.E.·Apr 2021

He knows his stuff and gives me a few days before he'll check in its convenient for me so i have me days, Corey is a good guy.

A.V.·Feb 2021

Though Corey and I have different schedules at times, he has always been great on checking in periodically, I like that he is able to listen to my concerns and give me logical and sound understanding.

T.R.·Feb 2021

Corey Pitts has been a great help for me! I’ve been using Better Help for a little over two weeks now and I’ve already learned a couple of useful coping mechanisms. I would highly recommend!

N.I.·Jan 2021

Would recommend to anyone. He has been extremely helpful and I truly appreciate it.

C.O.·Jan 2021

We have only met face to face twice so we are still developing our relationship, but it is going well so far. I like that we can still communicate any time...that is a bonus!

K.A.·Sep 2020

Corey knows how to listen and responds in such a timely manner. I have finally come to a place where I feel supported and someone that will listen and ground me when needed.

R.A.·Aug 2020

I have every confidence in his abilities!

N.I.·May 2020

I’ve only been talking with Corey Pitts for about two weeks. Every effort I’ve made with previous counselors failed and I wasn’t comfortable with them however, it’s easy to talk with him. He listens and is patient and he responds as quickly as possible. I was hesitant and was thinking of giving up on finding a counselor but thought I’d give it one more try, and now I understand why counseling is helpful.

K.O.·Apr 2020

Corey is phenomenal. Attentive. Quick to respond and has a way of making me feel like I am a priority in his day to day even though I'm sure he's slammed busy. I was going to make this a one month trial but have decided that my life and my perspective has already improved with a few weeks of Coreys help. I am forming better relationships with others and am understanding myself better than I ever have in 26 years of life. Thank you Corey.
