About Cori

Cori Adair-Cardinale is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She aims to make beginning therapy feel less intimidating and supports people as they take that first step. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly about their thoughts and feelings.

Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client and on practical steps they can try between meetings.

Background and approach

Cori listens closely and adapts her approach to each person’s pace and needs. Cori blends Jungian ideas about meaning and imagery with client-centered listening and practical cognitive-behavioral tools. She also draws on existential questions and mindfulness practices when those fit a client’s goals.

That mix helps people see patterns and try small changes that add up over time. Her Kansas licensure is listed as LSCSW, which stands for Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker. Cori brings seven years of professional experience to sessions and focuses on clear, down-to-earth conversation rather than jargon.

She also works with a range of additional concerns, including attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and end-of-life counseling. Cori aims to help clients find more steadiness and agency in daily life.

Online support

Approaches that translate to online work

Many clients benefit from Jungian Therapy, which looks at personal stories, dreams, and symbols to help uncover deeper meanings. It can be useful for people wanting to understand recurring life patterns or to make sense of strong emotions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and respect; the therapist mirrors and reflects so clients can find their own direction and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is practical and goal-oriented, helping people notice thought patterns and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or lift mood.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That means checking in, adjusting techniques, and deciding together whether to emphasize insight, skills, or mindfulness at any point.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, or mobility needs.
