Cori-Ann Feiner-Escoto

Cori-Ann Feiner-Escoto is a New Jersey psychologist (NJ Psychologist 35SI00435100) with 25 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and struggles with self-esteem. She also works with mood-related difficulties and a variety of life stressors.

Her style treats the client as the expert in their story. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and practical steps that make day-to-day life more manageable. She encourages small, doable changes rather than large, sudden overhauls.

Cori-Ann draws on a mix of well-known approaches to shape sessions. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to address patterns of thought and behavior. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies help with strong emotions and painful memories.

She also uses client-centered methods that emphasize listening and reflecting what clients bring to the room. Dialectical behavior therapy skills can be introduced to support emotion regulation and coping under stress. Existential ideas are used when people are questioning meaning or life direction.

People typically leave sessions with concrete skills to try between meetings. Cori-Ann aims to help clients handle specific problems such as communication struggles, caregiver stress, or feelings of emptiness. The work is practical and focused on next steps clients can take after each session.

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them and choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help when people feel stuck or pulled away from what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers clear strategies to change those patterns. It is useful for mood difficulties, low self-esteem, and practical coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting what the client brings so they can clarify choices and next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cori-Ann will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and daily life, and she will adjust the plan based on what helps. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can shift as needs change.

The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. If you prefer to proceed online, confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain regular check-ins and practice skills between meetings, which helps therapy fit into everyday life.
