Cori-Ann Feiner-Escoto

Cori-Ann Feiner-Escoto is a New Jersey psychologist with 25 years of experience helping people through hard transitions. She focuses on trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem challenges. Cori-Ann works with clients who are facing mood-related difficulties and the long ripple effects of loss and separation.

She keeps therapy direct and practical. Sessions look at what matters most to the person in front of her and build on existing strengths. Cori-Ann encourages steps that fit into daily life and aims to make change feel doable rather than overwhelming.

Her approach draws from several evidence-informed methods, including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, and client-centered listening. She uses skills to manage upsetting thoughts, notice values, and practice new behaviors between sessions.

Cori-Ann also incorporates elements from dialectical behavior work and existential conversations when they match a client’s needs. These help people handle intense emotions, set boundaries, and find meaning after major life shifts such as divorce and separation.

She believes the client knows their story best and treats each person with respect and curiosity. The work is collaborative: goals are set together and progress is checked regularly. Someone ready to take a first step will find straightforward support aimed at practical, manageable change.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when thoughts or feelings are painful. It is useful for grief, difficult life changes, and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce distress and improve mood. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan so sessions match the client’s needs and day-to-day life.

Confirm the available online session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use written tools and screen-shared worksheets during a session. Licensed professionals can guide choices about pacing, homework, and which approaches to emphasize so therapy supports practical change without disrupting routines.
