About Corita

Corita Gordon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and family concerns. She also supports those coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, addictions, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Her approach is straightforward and compassionate. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Sessions emphasize practical steps and honest conversation so people can try new ways of handling problems.

Corita helps clients address mood concerns such as depression and bipolar issues, and she works with those facing career challenges or questions about identity, including LGBT matters. Parenting pressures and anger are also common topics she addresses in sessions.

She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors them to each person’s situation. The work often includes learning new coping skills, clearer communication strategies, and ways to rebuild connection after conflict.

Corita recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and aims to support that first step. She invites people to be curious about change and to set goals that matter to them. Her style is collaborative, steady, and focused on practical, doable progress.

Evidence-based techniques and online care that fit your life

Corita uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in straightforward ways. One common approach focuses on teaching coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breath work, grounding, and step-by-step problem solving to reduce overwhelming feelings. Another approach centers on communication and relationship work, helping people practice clearer ways to express needs and respond to conflict so interactions become less reactive.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try concrete strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to prioritize and when to try different options.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Ask which options are available to find what fits your routine. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is hard to schedule. Corita aims to help people use therapy in ways that match daily life and personal needs.
