About Cory
LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) in Illinois with four years of professional experience. Cory Berberich focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, and attention issues like ADHD. He uses client-centered methods alongside DBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused work to help people manage difficult moments.
Cory has worked in foster care, an autism clinic, and private practice settings. That range gave him repeated exposure to intense emotions and practical coping challenges. He has spent much of his time working with adolescents and young adults, and currently sees people who are roughly 11 to 20 years old in his practice.
In sessions he emphasizes straightforward conversation and practical skills. He guides people to notice patterns, test small changes, and build habits that reduce distress. Mindfulness exercises and DBT-informed strategies show up when emotion regulation or impulsivity is a concern.
He often focuses on communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, impulsivity, and questions of life purpose. He also addresses personality disorder features, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, issues with self-love and sexuality, social anxiety and phobia, and other young adult issues.
Cory describes therapy as collaborative. He asks what matters to each person, then combines listening with hands-on techniques. Sessions aim to make symptoms easier to manage and day-to-day functioning more predictable.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow Illinois practice standards. Cory holds the LCPC credential and draws on a mix of client-centered, DBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches.

How Cory’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people clarify goals and feel understood, which supports work on stress, relationships, and life changes.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT-informed techniques can be useful for impulsivity, strong emotions, and patterns that cause conflict or self-harm thoughts.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These exercises are often paired with brief behavioral experiments and solution-focused planning to test changes between sessions.
Cory treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He will discuss goals and try different methods to see what fits. The plan is adjusted over time based on what helps the person make steady, manageable changes.
Confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Discussing preferences for pacing, skill practice, and follow-up helps match therapy to everyday routines.
