Cary Truley, LPC

Cary Truley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who focuses on practical, goal-oriented work. He uses clear, straightforward conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and LGBT-related concerns.

He brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and adapts the pace to each person. Cary emphasizes working together to set realistic goals and steps you can try between meetings. He believes small changes add up and looks for what will fit into your everyday life.

Cary draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to clarify values and build meaningful action. Client-Centered Therapy shapes his style, so meetings aim to feel respectful, nonjudgmental, and grounded in what matters to you.

People come to him for a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and work stress. He also supports clients dealing with ADHD, attachment issues, body image, and blended family problems. Cary tailors strategies for each person rather than applying a single method to everyone.

His sessions include listening, skill teaching, and planning small experiments you can try between sessions. He encourages ongoing feedback so the work stays relevant. If someone wants a steady, collaborative approach with clear steps, Cary focuses on practical tools and steady support.

How Cary’s Approaches Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new, more helpful ways of thinking. It often includes simple exercises and behavior experiments to try between sessions and can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them even when difficult emotions are present; this approach can be useful for motivation, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so people feel heard and can explore what matters most to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cary treats the choice of method as collaborative and will help figure out what fits your needs, goals, and preferences. He often blends approaches so that techniques match the problem you bring and the pace you prefer.

Online sessions offer flexibility for many people. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging are useful for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, or travel while using the therapeutic tools discussed in sessions.
