Cory Russell

Cory Russell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina with 11 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, career concerns, and relationship struggles. Cory aims to give practical support so clients can take steps toward clearer thinking and more manageable days.

He uses approaches that focus on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Sessions are conversational and goal-minded. Cory works to identify patterns that keep problems stuck and to build strategies that fit daily life.

Many people come for help with life transitions, family and parenting pressures, or the emotional fallout from trauma and abuse. He also supports those facing anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and mood instability. Career-related stress and coaching are part of his practice too.

Cory favors methods that are hands-on and concrete. He helps clients set short-term goals, test new ways of thinking, and practice different behaviors between sessions. Progress is tracked in simple steps so change feels manageable.

People who prefer straightforward, practical conversation tend to do well with his style. He aims to be a steady collaborator in problem solving, offering direction and validation while clients try new ways of handling challenges.

How Cory’s Approaches Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions look at unhelpful thinking patterns and teach practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns that started early and still affect current connections; online work can use discussion and exercises to improve trust and communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Cory will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as priorities shift and progress is made.

If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when useful. It also lets people continue work on relationships, career stress, or trauma-focused goals from wherever they are, while keeping the focus on practical steps and skills that translate into everyday life.
