About Kory

Kory Wilson is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with 11 years of practice. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or big life changes. He also supports those dealing with grief, anger, mood swings, and midlife questions about purpose and direction.

Kory focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and teaching skills people can use day to day. Sessions emphasize emotional regulation, clearer thinking, and practical strategies for relationships and work. He aims to make therapy concrete and easy to apply between meetings.

His approach combines client-centered care with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, plus mindfulness practices. That mix is used to reduce distress, build resilience, and improve coping. The work centers on what matters most to each person and on measurable steps toward their goals.

Kory encourages people to notice strengths and slowly shift habits that get in the way. He offers a collaborative atmosphere where clients set priorities and try out new ways of responding to stress and worry. Sessions are paced to match each person’s needs.

Over his career he has worked with a wide range of life challenges, including relationship strain, substance concerns, financial stress, and illness-related distress. People who want clear tools, steady support, and less overwhelm tend to find his style practical and straightforward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a caring working relationship. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them notice strengths and priorities, which suits conversations about life direction and midlife concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used to reduce anxiety and depression by practicing new ways of thinking and acting between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can change over time as progress and preferences become clearer.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows consistent weekly work when life is hectic, and it supports continuing skills practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and pacing so therapy fits into everyday life.
