About Cary

Cary Truley is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Colorado with eight years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, LGBT-related concerns, self-esteem problems, motivation struggles, and OCD. Cary also lists many other focus areas including relationship and family difficulties, grief, addiction, ADHD, and parenting concerns.

He uses straightforward conversation to help people sort out what matters most. Sessions focus on clear goals, coping skills, and steps you can try between meetings. Cary adapts what he does to the person in front of him rather than applying one fixed method.

His background includes several evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. He also incorporates client-centered and emotionally focused ideas when they fit the concern. That mix is used to address both immediate symptoms and longer-term patterns like attachment or family of origin issues.

People come to Cary for a wide range of situations - career and life transitions, parenting stress, body image and identity questions, or the aftereffects of trauma and abuse. He aims to help people build practical strategies for daily life while also addressing deeper relational patterns.

If you are an adult dealing with the pressures of early adulthood - leaving home, first jobs, study, relationships, or feeling behind - Cary lists young adult issues among his focus areas. To begin, follow the site steps to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Cary uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying values and learning practical ways to act on them despite difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with a sense of aimlessness, low motivation, and life transitions. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Cary will discuss goals, current problems, and what methods feel most useful. That makes therapy a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted as progress is tracked.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find online work useful because it fits into a busy schedule, can shorten travel time, and allows for shorter check-ins when needed. If you want to know whether video, phone, or another format is offered, check the platform options or ask during the matching step so you can arrange sessions that fit day-to-day life.
