About Cory
Cory Swann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with ten years of experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, relationship strains, career challenges, life changes, and self-esteem concerns. Cory also addresses grief, family and blended family issues, body image, and guilt and shame.
Her style is client-centered and relaxed. She follows a strengths-based outlook and uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Sessions are conversational and practical, with an emphasis on skills people can use between meetings.
Cory draws on mindfulness practices to help people become more aware of their moment-to-moment experience. She also uses solution-focused ideas to identify small steps that make a difference. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when people are weighing change and need a clearer sense of what matters most.
She aims to talk through specific problems like money stress, workplace issues, and communication breakdowns. For many people, that means breaking concerns into manageable pieces and testing new ways of responding. Cory helps people weigh options for career shifts, midlife questions, and finding greater self-acceptance.
Outside the session, Cory expects clients to try short, doable experiments between meetings. That might look like brief behavior changes, reflection exercises, or focused practice of new communication skills. The goal is steady progress through everyday steps, not sudden fixes.
Approaches used and how online sessions fit
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot patterns of thought that worsen anxiety or self-criticism and then try specific behavior changes. It is practical and works well for problems like anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, collaborative conversation. The therapist follows the client's lead, listens closely, and supports the person in clarifying values and goals. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices that help reduce reactivity and make choices less driven by shame or automatic distress. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cory will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and preferences and will adjust plans over time. That decision is collaborative and based on what the client wants to try and what proves helpful in sessions. Session options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some people prefer audio only for less screen time, while others choose video for face-to-face conversation; Cory will work with each person to identify practical arrangements that fit their schedule and needs.Areas of expertise
