About Cori-Ann

Cori-Ann Feiner-Escoto is a New Jersey psychologist with 25 years of professional experience. She works with adults on trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and self-esteem concerns. Her practice also addresses mood-related difficulties and related strains such as caregiver stress and communication problems.

She describes clients as the experts on their own stories and focuses on helping people recognize strengths they already have. Sessions look at concrete challenges and skills. Cori-Ann uses questions and reflective listening to help people name what matters and what gets in the way.

Her background includes long-term clinical work supporting people after traumatic events, during illness such as cancer, and through relationship separations. She has experience with first responder issues, domestic violence, and family of origin problems. This experience informs practical ways to manage guilt, shame, impulsivity, loneliness, and control issues.

Therapeutic methods in her practice include acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior strategies, client-centered techniques, and existential perspectives. These tools are used to help with coping, emotional regulation, and clearer decision making. Sessions combine talking with skill practice and reflection.

People who feel stuck after a life change or who are unsure what matters next may find a straightforward, dialog-based approach here. To begin, users follow the site process to match and schedule an initial meeting and complete any intake steps needed by the practice.

How her clinical approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions. It can help when someone feels directionless after a life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is commonly used for mood issues and self-esteem concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can be useful for impulsivity and strong emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cori-Ann will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, concerns, and preferences. She combines talking with skill practice and reflection so the plan can shift as needs change.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use tools and worksheets during the session and practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT techniques effectively in remote sessions, and Cori-Ann uses these approaches to help clients apply skills in everyday life.
