About Cora

Cora Fry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who centers therapy on the person in front of her. She draws on 33 years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and low self-esteem. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at practical change over time.

Clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space for talking through life transitions and painful memories. She helps people develop clearer communication, reduce workplace strain, and build self-love and life purpose. Sessions focus on steps you can try between appointments.

Her work combines listening with techniques that address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns that feed anxiety and depression. She also uses Client-Centered methods to follow each person's pace and concerns.

Solution-Focused Therapy appears in sessions when people want short-term planning and concrete goals. That approach supports choices people can make right away to feel steadier and more capable. Across methods, she respects cultural differences and the ways prejudice or discrimination affect well-being.

Her background includes long-term clinical practice in the District of Columbia and extensive experience with mood disorders, trauma, and stress related to major life changes. People with issues like codependency, isolation, impulsivity, seasonal mood shifts, or disaster-related stress can find focused support.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following your lead. The therapist creates space for you to talk through what matters most and helps you set the pace for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns that contribute to anxiety or depression. Solution-Focused Therapy helps identify small, concrete steps and short-term goals to produce noticeable change quickly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your needs. Decisions about which strategies to use are collaborative and can be adjusted as you progress.

This therapist's session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce commute time, or allow a quicker check-in when you need brief support. It can also make it easier to try strategies between sessions and to share homework or worksheets electronically. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, session length, and how to structure appointments around work and family life.
