About Cori-Ann
Cori-Ann Feiner-Escoto is a New Jersey psychologist (NJ Psychologist 35SI00435100) with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and struggles with self-esteem. Her practice also addresses related concerns such as cancer-related stress, caregiver strain, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
She uses straightforward, person-focused methods and treats the client as the expert on their life. Sessions look at what is getting in the way now and at concrete steps to change patterns that cause distress. That may include learning new ways to manage intense feelings, shifting unhelpful thoughts, or practicing acceptance of difficult experiences.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy, among other methods. She blends these to match what a person needs in the moment, rather than following a single template. Sessions often include mindful noticing, practical skills, and chance to reflect on values and priorities.
Cori-Ann has worked with people facing a wide range of life stressors including divorce, domestic violence, first responder issues, and survivor reactions after disasters. She also addresses guilt and shame and issues around forgiveness in ways that respect each person’s pace.
People can expect clear conversation about goals and regular check-ins on progress. To begin, patients use an online matching step and schedule a first session to see how the approach fits their needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences dictate actions. It focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to test and change patterns that keep someone stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try out methods, and adjust what they do based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to match exercises and conversations to each person’s needs and preferences rather than using a single method every session.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when energy or bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals often use those practical benefits to help people maintain regular contact while working on issues such as trauma reactions, grief, or persistent guilt and shame.
