About Cori-Ann
Cori-Ann Feiner-Escoto is a New Jersey psychologist with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing trauma, abuse, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. Her approach centers on working alongside each person to build on strengths and take steps toward a more satisfying life.
She listens first and follows the client’s pace, treating people as the experts on their own stories. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to emotions, thoughts, and everyday coping skills. She often helps people manage mood-related difficulties and the aftermath of difficult events.
Cori-Ann draws on methods that encourage acceptance, present-moment awareness, and active problem solving. She uses techniques that can help someone notice unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding. The work can include developing routines, grounding tactics, and short experiments to test different choices.
Many clients come for help after loss, in the wake of abuse, or while dealing with ongoing stress from caregiving or serious illness. She also supports people wrestling with isolation, guilt, control issues, and family of origin concerns. Conversations cover practical steps and emotional processing in equal measure.
The first step is often a simple conversation about goals and hopes for therapy. From there she and the client map out a plan that fits real life. Cori-Ann aims to make therapy understandable, manageable, and focused on clear progress.
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small committed actions that move a person toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace to build confidence and self-understanding.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. That collaboration guides whether techniques emphasize acceptance, skill-building, or reflective exploration so the plan fits the person’s needs.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require. It can also make it simpler to continue care during periods of illness, caregiving, or when life events make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to work well in remote sessions so progress can continue between meetings.
