About Cory
Cory Cravalho is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strains, and major life changes. He meets clients where they are and aims to reduce the feeling of being stuck.
Background and approach
His tone is straightforward and calm so people can speak plainly about what’s on their mind. He often supports young adults facing anxiety, depression, and the emotional effects of trauma.
That includes large, life-altering events as well as the quieter, ongoing wounds that come from childhood or past relationships. He also focuses on concerns such as attachment issues, social anxiety, jealousy, and struggles with self-love.
Sessions are relaxed and direct. Cory uses clear language and avoids technical jargon so conversations stay focused on practical steps.
He listens for patterns that keep people repeating the same problems and helps them try different ways of responding. People who’ve felt pressure to “have it all together” may find his approach useful.
He pays attention to how self-criticism, rumination, and disconnection from others affect daily life. He also works with first responders and military veterans on issues specific to those experiences.
Cory brings four years of clinical experience and practices in California as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT. He offers sessions in English and uses phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging to meet different needs.
Approaches that guide online work and what they address
Cory uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and then test small changes to see what feels different. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and getting unstuck in repetitive cycles.Another core method centers on attachment and relational patterns. It helps people notice how early connections still affect trust, closeness, and conflict today. This work can reduce loneliness, improve relationship communication, and ease social anxiety.
Finding the right way to work together is a collaborative process. Cory will listen to your goals and concerns, explain different approaches in plain terms, and adjust methods as progress and preferences emerge. You and he will decide together which techniques to try and how fast to move.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversation from wherever you are, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging are useful for short check-ins or when you prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or irregular schedules while using methods that aim to meet your needs.
