Cory Nelson, LPC

Cory Nelson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Dakota with more than 20 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. He has worked with clients from early childhood to older adulthood, assisting individuals across the lifespan with concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting and relationship difficulties, loss and grief, and addiction.

Influenced by a personal admiration for the Spider-Man maxim "With great power comes great responsibility," he brings a strong sense of ethical commitment to his work. He approaches each person with respect and compassion and recognizes that beginning counseling can feel intimidating. His style emphasizes collaboration - partnering with clients to identify goals and the steps needed to reach them - and creating an environment where people can feel supported as they work toward change.

His clinical approach blends client-centered therapy, which focuses on empathy and the client's own goals, with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which addresses thoughts and behaviors to foster practical coping skills. As an LPC, he holds a professional counseling license to provide therapeutic services in South Dakota. He is available to walk alongside clients who are ready to begin their work toward healing and growth.
