About Cory
Cory Berberich is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with four years of professional counseling experience and nearly six years working in mental health. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, and concentration concerns including ADHD. Cory regularly supports young adult issues as part of his practice.
He has worked in foster care, an autism clinic, and private practice. Those roles exposed him to a wide range of emotional struggles and common life stresses. He draws on that variety when meeting new people and planning what to focus on in sessions.
Cory uses client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on the person in front of him. He also brings dialectical behavior therapy techniques to help with intense emotions and impulsivity. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies appear when the goal is managing stress or building small, achievable changes.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Cory aims to help people notice patterns, practice new skills, and set clear next steps between meetings. He pays attention to communication problems, relationship strain, and the fallout from major life changes like separation or moving on from old roles.
Young adults who are dealing with school, early careers, identity questions, or feeling behind in life will find a therapist familiar with those pressures. Cory speaks English and practices in Illinois as an LCPC. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
How Cory’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflection, and letting the person's concerns guide each session. Online sessions using this approach can center on open conversation about decisions, relationships, or stressors that come up in early adulthood.Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) brings concrete skills for managing intense emotions and impulsive actions. In a remote setting DBT skills work can include practicing grounding, emotion regulation techniques, and planning small behavioral experiments between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative step. Cory will work with clients to decide which methods make the most sense for their goals, needs, and personal preferences. That can mean combining client-centered discussion with DBT skills or using mindfulness and solution-focused tasks to target a specific problem.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find remote meetings helpful because they fit more easily around study, work, or commuting. Remote sessions can make it simpler to fit regular check-ins, try short focused meetings, or avoid travel on busy days. Licensed professionals can tailor the structure to practical needs like timing, session length, and homework tasks.
