Cory Berberich

Cory Berberich is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with four years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, and attention difficulties such as ADHD. Cory sees clients from young adolescence into adulthood and conducts sessions in English.

He previously worked in foster care, an autism clinic, and private practice settings. That mix of environments gave him frequent exposure to a wide range of emotional challenges. Cory is familiar with the pressures that teens and young adults face today and often works with people in that age range.

In sessions he follows client-centered principles, aiming to keep conversation focused on the person’s concerns and goals. He also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused methods when they fit the need. Those methods shape how he structures conversations and skills practice.

Cory often helps people who are coping with big life transitions, relationship breakups, communication problems, or impulsivity. He also supports those dealing with post-traumatic stress, self-harm thoughts, or struggles around self-love and sexuality. Life purpose is a named focus and comes up when clients are questioning what matters next.

Practical work in sessions can include skills practice, short-term goal setting, and mindfulness exercises. To begin, clients use the site's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the approach fits their situation.

How Cory’s approaches work for online sessions

Cory draws on client-centered therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness practices to shape online sessions. Client-centered therapy means the conversation follows the person’s concerns and priorities, which helps when someone is uncertain about next steps. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and impulsivity, useful for anxiety, relationship conflict, or stress. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and grounding exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Choosing the right combination of methods is a collaborative process. Cory will work with each person to weigh goals, challenges, and preferences and then try techniques that fit. That lets sessions stay practical and focused on what the person wants to change or understand next.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments can occur between responsibilities. Cory uses skills practice, goal setting, and brief mindfulness exercises in virtual conversation to keep sessions active and actionable.
