Cory Sullivan, LCSW

Cory Sullivan is a licensed clinical social worker who combines practical skills with lived experience to help people adjust after injury or illness. He uses clear, down-to-earth language in sessions and focuses on the everyday changes people face when health problems alter life plans and identity.

Cory draws on seven years of clinical practice and on his own experience adapting to life after a traumatic injury. That background shapes how he listens and what he offers in session. He pays attention to grief, loss of role, and the steady work of rebuilding routines.

In therapy he helps people notice and name unhelpful thoughts and patterns. He uses strategies from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral tools, and mindfulness to manage anxiety, low mood, and painful memories. He also brings techniques that teach emotional regulation and stronger communication for strained relationships.

Cory’s focus areas include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression, and he also supports people dealing with aging, cancer, caregiver strain, and isolation. He works with concerns like guilt, shame, panic, and challenges common to veterans and first responders.

Sessions aim for practical gains. Cory helps people set small goals, try new coping skills, and test what works in daily life. He guides clients toward a steadier daily routine and clearer choices about next steps.

Approach-focused online therapy for health challenges

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and patterns that make day-to-day life harder.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes noticing painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports people aiming to live a values-driven life while managing ongoing health problems.

Finding the right approach often takes a little time. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and comfort level. That process may include trying different strategies and checking progress together.
