About Cory
Cory Sullivan is an LCSW who helps people adjust after trauma, chronic illness, or other major life changes. He focuses on practical steps that ease day-to-day life and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Cory draws on his own experience of rebuilding identity after injury to connect with people facing similar challenges.
He uses straightforward tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness to help people manage intense feelings and negative thoughts. Sessions emphasize small, usable skills that can be tried between meetings. Cory also brings communication tools influenced by the Gottman Method where relational strain is part of the problem.
People working with him often focus on grief, loss of role or identity, caregiver stress, and feelings of isolation. He also supports those coping with medical challenges such as cancer and age-related concerns, as well as first responder and veteran-related stress. Cory pays attention to cultural background and how it affects recovery and meaning.
His approach centers on normalizing hard reactions while teaching practical strategies to move forward. He blends strengths-based work with skill building so clients keep what helps and add new tools for tough moments. The tone in sessions is collaborative and down-to-earth.
Cory practices in California and brings seven years of clinical experience to his work. He holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and offers therapy in English.
