Cory Swann, LCSW

Cory Swann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses a practical, goal-oriented approach rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy. She offers calm, direct support for people coping with anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship or career concerns. Cory writes plainly and listens carefully to figure out what feels most useful for each person.

She aims for conversations that feel warm and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then trying small, manageable changes. Cory avoids stigmatizing labels and centers each person’s strengths when planning next steps.

Her practice also addresses grief, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cory helps people facing family problems, blended family issues, or difficulties tied to workplace stress and money. She also works with concerns like body image, social anxiety, and feelings of emptiness.

Across ten years of clinical work she has used client-centered methods, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques alongside CBT. That mix lets her match the approach to whatever someone brings to a session, whether that’s a short-term goal or deeper pattern work.

Therapy with Cory is collaborative and pragmatic. She will help set clear goals, track progress, and adjust plans as needed. The focus is on usable tools people can apply between sessions to improve mood, communication, and daily functioning.

How Cory Uses Practical Approaches Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety and low mood. Sessions often include simple exercises and experiments to try between meetings to shift patterns and improve daily functioning.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflecting concerns and building on strengths to set meaningful goals and priorities.

Mindfulness Therapy adds short practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. These techniques can help with stress, rumination, and emotional regulation in everyday life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cory will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust methods based on what works. She combines tools from CBT, client-centered work, and mindfulness so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing one style.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone calls require less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
