About Christopher

Christopher Korty is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or parenting concerns. He supports people facing anger, addiction, trauma, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and challenges around intimacy and life purpose. He is based in North Carolina and offers therapy that focuses on practical steps and real-life solutions.

Korty uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to clarify goals, develop coping skills, and change unhelpful patterns. He works with people on communication problems, impulsivity, forgiveness, and difficulties linked to mood such as bipolar disorder or disruptive mood dysregulation concerns. His approach blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with dialectical strategies and motivational interviewing to help people make sustainable changes.

That means clients learn skills for managing strong emotions, practice different ways of thinking, and find motivation for new behaviors. Sessions are adapted to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script. People meet him for help with career transitions, compassion fatigue, eating concerns, and parenting strain.

He also supports men and young adults who are trying to find clarity and direction. Christopher aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity while encouraging practical steps forward. Therapy with Korty typically focuses on building skills, setting small goals, and tracking progress over time.

He emphasizes collaboration and keeps plans flexible so they fit everyday life and changing circumstances.

Online support

How targeted approaches work online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking to change feelings and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help manage strong emotions and improve relationships. Motivational Interviewing helps people find the internal motivation to make changes, which can be useful for addictions, behavior change, and sticking with treatment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend a mix of methods. That plan is adjusted over time based on what helps and what feels manageable for the client.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing check-ins and brief coaching between longer sessions. These options aim to provide flexibility and consistent contact while focusing on skill building and progress.
