About Cory
Cory Russell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience helping people navigate hard seasons. He offers practical, down-to-earth support for stress, anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD, and relationship concerns. Cory works with individuals who want straightforward strategies and steady guidance.
He uses clear tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior so people feel more in control. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps that build confidence over time.
Background and approach
Cory helps clients set goals and practice new ways of responding to difficult situations. Cory draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand how relationships shape their expectations and reactions. He also uses trauma-focused approaches when past hurt still affects daily life.
These frameworks are mixed with client-centered conversation so each session fits the person's needs. Clients can expect him to listen, ask direct questions, and teach skills they can use between meetings. He emphasizes practical plans for coping with big emotions like anger and overwhelm.
Progress is measured in real-life changes, not just talk. Cory offers sessions in multiple online formats and is willing to work with people in South Carolina and beyond. He aims to make therapy work around busy schedules and real limitations.
If someone wants concrete tools and respectful support, his approach is built for that kind of work.

How Cory Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions teach practical tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety, anger, and low mood.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and reactions. In virtual sessions this approach helps people make sense of patterns in their close relationships and practice different ways of relating.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cory works with each person to identify goals and preferences, then suggests which methods to try first and adjusts the plan as progress is made. He treats the first few meetings as a time to test what fits.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, coaching-style support, and flexible contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical change.
