About Cory
Cory Berberich is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois with four years of professional counseling experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, and attention difficulties. Cory also lists social anxiety and phobia among his focus areas and works with young adults and adolescents in his practice.
Cory draws on client-centered work to keep conversations focused on each person's priorities. He uses clear, practical strategies from dialectical behavior therapy and solution-focused methods to help people manage intense feelings and make small changes that matter. Mindfulness techniques are used to notice reactions and practice calmer responses in everyday moments.
His background includes roles in foster care, an autism clinic, and private practice. That range gave him experience with many kinds of strong emotional reactions and with concentration and memory concerns. He has worked mainly with teenagers and young adults, and continues to support people roughly between ages 11 and 20 in his current work.
Sessions aim to be direct and straightforward. Cory helps people name what is most troubling, try short-term coping skills, and build routines that reduce stress. He encourages practical steps for relationships, communication problems, impulsivity, and life transitions.
People who choose him can expect an approach that combines listening with concrete tools. He asks clients to set goals together and tracks progress over time. To start, Cory asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Cory’s approaches translate to online work
Counselor-led client-centered work focuses conversations on what matters most to the client. Online sessions can be used to build that focus by checking goals and priorities each week. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teaching gives concrete tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, useful when anxiety or impulsivity feels overwhelming. Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right blend of these methods is part of the process. Cory will work with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. He treats the choice as collaborative, adjusting techniques as progress is reviewed over time.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. They can also let someone avoid camera use if that feels better, or choose video when interaction helps practice social skills. Ask about the specific formats he offers when selecting a first appointment so sessions fit your routines.
