01About Cory
Cory Berberich is a licensed clinician in Illinois who brings four years of professional therapy experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and challenges with attention and focus. Cory aims to create an accepting space where people can talk honestly about what’s hard for them.
He uses straightforward, human-centered methods that put the person’s needs first. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with a focus on building coping skills for daily life.
Background and approach
Cory draws on approaches that help people regulate strong emotions and improve communication. Before moving into independent practice he worked in foster care and an autism clinic, so he has seen a wide range of emotional and behavioral struggles. That background informs a calm and steady way of working with difficult problems like trauma, impulsivity, and post-traumatic stress.
Cory prefers a collaborative style. He listens first, then helps people set clear, manageable goals. Therapy can include mindfulness exercises, skills for handling intense feelings, and brief solution-focused steps to move forward.
He helps people explore life purpose, repair communication problems, and cope with separation or divorce issues. He also addresses concerns such as self-harm thoughts, social anxiety, and questions about sexuality. Cory explains steps clearly and checks in often to make sure the work fits each person’s needs.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Cory commonly blends client-centered work with DBT and mindfulness practices to address everyday struggles. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment, helping them feel heard and understood while they set their own goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and improving relationships. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. Cory works collaboratively to learn what matters most, then suggests methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. That partnership helps keep sessions relevant and adaptable over time.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing support and allow quick check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, a school schedule, or times of transition without long commutes.
