About Cory
Cory Schortzman is a licensed counselor with 26 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He practices from Colorado and draws on a range of therapeutic styles to match each person's needs. Cory emphasizes practical steps and clear goals so people can feel progress early in therapy.
He focuses on issues such as pornography and sexual process addictions, infidelity, communication problems, codependency, and the shame and guilt that often follow relationship strain.
Background and approach
He also supports people dealing with abandonment, impulsivity, isolation, and challenges around self-worth. His background includes licenses as an LPC and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP). Cory uses a client-centered stance that begins by listening and learning what matters most to the person in front of him.
He combines that with cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking patterns and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. Emotionally-focused ideas guide work on attachment and repairing hurt in close relationships. Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative.
Cory helps set small, clear steps between meetings so people can see change happen. He encourages self-compassion while also addressing concrete behaviors like impulsivity or avoidance. People can expect a calm, goal-oriented approach that blends understanding with practical tools.
Cory reminds clients that taking the first step takes courage, and he offers steady support as they work toward clearer connections and healthier habits.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences. It starts with listening and reflecting so the therapist can understand what matters most and help people identify their strengths and values.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, works on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and addictive patterns because it helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors to break cycles.
Emotionally-focused ideas are used to spot how attachment and emotion patterns affect relationships. This helps when intimacy, infidelity, or hurt around closeness have become repeated issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cory will collaborate with the person to pick methods that match their goals, timeline, and comfort level. He checks in and adjusts the plan as progress and challenges emerge.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging work well for short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options give flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent while managing work, travel, or family obligations.
