About Kory

Kory Wilson is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Utah with 11 years of experience supporting people through stressful and emotionally difficult times.

Background and approach

He draws on a blend of practical techniques to help clients recognize and shift unhelpful thinking, strengthen emotional regulation, and build everyday skills that improve relationships and functioning. Kory's background includes outpatient work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, grief, anger, bipolar mood challenges, and life transitions.

His approach is collaborative and skill-oriented, emphasizing real-world strategies such as cognitive techniques and mindfulness to reduce distress and increase resilience. Kory also addresses a wide range of related concerns including communication problems, blended family dynamics, addiction issues, hoarding, end-of-life or hospice-related counseling, and financial stress.

He aims to create a supportive therapeutic relationship where clients can explore strengths, practice new behaviors, and pursue clearer goals for personal growth and improved well-being.

Practical approaches for online care and lasting skills

Many clients benefit from structured approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in an online setting. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve problem solving. DBT emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can help with mood instability, intense emotions, and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work, and Kory works collaboratively with clients to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. He draws from client-centered principles as well, creating a respectful, strength-focused environment while helping clients choose and practice techniques that feel workable in their daily lives.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions. These formats allow licensed professionals to guide skill practice, coach through distressing moments, and review cognitive and mindfulness exercises between sessions to support steady progress.
