About Cory
Cory Russell is a licensed professional counselor with 11 years of experience who offers practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and related challenges. He practices in South Carolina and communicates in English. Cory aims to meet people where they are and help them find clearer steps forward.
He uses concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Sessions focus on small, manageable changes that reduce overwhelm. He also helps clients sort through relationship strain, parenting concerns, work pressure, and major life adjustments.
Background and approach
Cory draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. He also brings Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to conversations about connection and communication. Trauma-Focused Therapy informs his work when past events make daily life harder.
In a typical session he listens, helps name the problem, and suggests practical tools to try between meetings. He helps clients set realistic goals and track progress over time. The tone is collaborative and straightforward rather than technical.
People can expect flexibility in how sessions are arranged and delivered. Cory offers several online formats and works with international clients. To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step match the therapist with each person seeking support.
Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape how people connect and communicate. It helps when trust, closeness, or safety in relationships feels uneven or confusing.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It uses short exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and manage ADHD-related patterns.
Cory approaches online work as a collaborative process. He helps clients choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they try approaches, check what helps, and adjust plans as needed rather than assuming one path from the start.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments, fit therapy around parenting or work, and try brief check-ins when full sessions aren’t possible. The variety also lets clients practice new skills between meetings and maintain momentum toward their goals.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
