About Coralya
Coralya (Cory) Mazariego is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with seven years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, and depression, and also focuses on issues such as communication problems, family strain, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and women’s issues.
Cory treats each person as the expert on their own life. She listens for strengths and practical steps a person can use right away. Sessions are intended to be straightforward and conversational. Cory encourages small, manageable shifts rather than sudden overhauls.
Her background includes seven years of direct practice in California settings where she supported people through mood concerns, substance-related struggles, and the aftermath of loss. That experience informs how she notices patterns and offers concrete options.
In sessions Cory will help identify how guilt or shame shows up day to day. She works with people to name unhelpful thoughts, test them against real-life evidence, and practice different responses. The focus is on usable tools for coping and clearer thinking when emotions run high.
People can expect a collaborative, paced approach that balances talking through difficult moments with skills practice. Cory asks questions, suggests strategies, and follows the client’s lead about what to address next. Her aim is steady progress through short, practical steps rather than quick fixes.
How evidence-based approaches fit into online sessions
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques help with strong emotions and recurring thoughts. Cognitive approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, testing beliefs against facts, and shifting how people respond to worry or guilt. These methods are practical and often include short at-home exercises to practice new ways of thinking.Another helpful approach uses behavioral strategies to change what a person does day to day. That can mean breaking large tasks into small steps, scheduling activities that lift mood, or creating limits around addictive behaviors. These techniques aim to make steady behavioral changes that reduce symptoms over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cory will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She listens for what feels manageable and adjusts plans as progress and challenges emerge.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find that remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to balance appointments with work or family time. Licensed professionals can use the online setting to teach practical skills, review homework, and track how small changes are working week to week.
