About Cory
Cory Schortzman is an LPC and LIMHP licensed in Colorado and Nebraska with 26 years of professional experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and problems with anger. Cory also focuses on concerns such as abandonment, codependency, infidelity, and struggles with guilt and shame.
He approaches therapy from practical, emotion-focused angles. He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in how people connect and respond emotionally. He also draws on client-centered work to prioritize the person’s perspective and on cognitive behavioral ideas to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
In sessions he listens for recurring relationship patterns and for the emotions that underlie them. He helps people name those emotions and then try different ways of responding. That can mean talking through communication habits, setting clearer boundaries, or addressing compulsive behaviors tied to addiction.
Cory works directly with intimacy and sexual concerns, including pornography and sexual addictions, and with issues that often follow infidelity. He also helps individuals dealing with isolation, midlife concerns, and struggles around self-worth and self-love. The work mixes practical steps with attention to feelings and attachment patterns.
People are asked to share their story and goals, then Cory and the client decide what to focus on next. He frames therapy as a collaborative effort aimed at clearer understanding and more manageable daily choices.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Cory combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting emotional patterns that affect relationships and intimacy. It helps when recurring interaction styles leave people feeling disconnected or stuck.Client-centered work emphasizes the person’s experience and perspective. It involves reflective listening and helping clients clarify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cory will collaborate with each person to choose what fits their goals and preferences. That may mean emphasizing emotional connection for relationship struggles or using CBT techniques for anxiety and compulsive behaviors.
