Cory Dolley is a Licensed Social Worker in Illinois who has been practicing since 2019. Cory just wants to be able to help give people a fighting chance to have a healthy, happy, productive life. Perhaps you are someone in your late 20's to 60's and are not used to asking for help because you were taught early never to show vulnerability. Perhaps you are dealing with unacknowledged trauma from years ago that was never seriously addressed. All you know is that you are in pain, and that pain is affecting all your other relationships, making it harder to reach out to others, hard to trust anyone.

I work with clients who have anxiety, depression and self esteem issues. What we tell ourselves and what our parents have told us can define how we feel about ourselves. The message is often we are "not good enough". I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients to get rid of the habits and thoughts that may keep them anxious and stressed. A big part of my work is teaching people to negotiate and effectively talk with families and friends, and to be heard and understood without causing any drama. I have trained people in assertiveness and taught parenting classes.

My clients are usually navigating major life transitions, whether it's an academic shift, a career change, or a period of deep personal instability. They often feel overwhelmed by uncertainty and plagued by anxiety or depression, largely driven by a need to regain control in a world that feels unpredictable. This desire for control can sometimes manifest in compulsive behaviors or self-destructive patterns as they try to cope with chaos. They’re not just looking to “feel better,” they want to understand themselves more deeply, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a life that aligns with their values and aspirations.
