About Cary

Cary Truley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience who centers his work in evidence-informed, client-focused therapies.

Background and approach

He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered principles to build treatment plans that match each person's needs. Cary emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring sessions to address presenting concerns.

His clinical focus includes stress and anxiety, depression, self-esteem and confidence, LGBT-related concerns, addiction-related challenges, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and grief, parenting and fatherhood issues, anger and career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Additional areas of attention include attachment and family of origin issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, commitment and communication problems, control issues, body image, and caregiver stress. Cary practices in Colorado and holds the credentials CO LPC LPC.0018163 and OR LPC C8129 as a Licensed Professional Counselor.

He supports clients through thoughtful dialogue and collaborative planning, helping people take the courageous first steps toward clearer goals and improved functioning. Cary adapts methods to suit individual preferences and focuses on practical skills alongside emotional processing to help clients move toward more satisfying and manageable lives.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting people who experience intense emotions or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the kinds of challenges they bring, and then adapts interventions over time based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to fit different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access regular support from Colorado-based licensed professionals and allow therapy to continue when in-person visits are difficult, helping people maintain momentum toward their goals.
