Cory Russell, LPC

Cory Russell is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 11 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Cory aims to help clients find practical steps they can use day to day.

Cory uses clear, goal-oriented work in sessions. He often focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That helps people reduce overwhelm and build habits that support steady change. Sessions include problem solving and tools to manage strong emotions.

Clients come to him for many concerns, including stress, self-esteem, career questions, compassion fatigue, and trauma or abuse. He also addresses attachment issues, communication and commitment difficulties, infidelity, and family problems. Cory brings steady guidance when people need direction or validation.

His main approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which targets unhelpful thinking and supports healthier behavior. He also draws from Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ways of working and uses Trauma-Focused methods when relevant. These approaches are used to match each person's needs.

Cory practices in South Carolina and offers services in English. He welcomes people from other regions as well. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

People who book with Cory can expect straightforward conversation, collaborative planning, and practical steps to move forward.

How Cory’s approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions use structured conversation and practical exercises to identify unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD challenges, and stress.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns. In remote sessions this approach involves talking through relationship patterns and developing ways to feel and act differently in close connections, which can be useful for commitment and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cory will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting plans over time.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy week. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when a quick strategy or mood check is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so the work continues between meetings.
