01About Cory
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 anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, or big life changes. Cory focuses on practical steps you can take to feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day challenges.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. That approach helps people identify thinking patterns that increase distress and try new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Cory also draws on attachment-informed ideas to understand how early and current relationships affect feelings and reactions. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. Cory will listen to your concerns, help set useful goals, and introduce simple strategies for coping and problem solving.
He emphasizes skills people can use between sessions to make steady progress. People often come for help with relationships, communication problems, commitment concerns, or family stress. He also supports those dealing with trauma, anger, career issues, bipolar mood challenges, or compassion fatigue.
Cory tailors his approach to the person in front of him rather than following a single script. If you want straightforward guidance and tools to reduce overwhelm, Cory works with clients to clarify priorities and practice new habits. He encourages collaboration, so clients leave sessions with concrete next steps and a clearer sense of direction.

How Cory's Approaches Work Online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns show up in current interactions. It can help people understand feeling stuck in certain relationship cycles and build safer emotional connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing strong reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Cory collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adapts methods so they fit the individual's needs. That teamwork helps decide whether more attachment work, CBT strategies, or a mix of methods will be most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill teaching and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, tracking progress, or staying connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule counseling around work, family, or travel while still working toward meaningful change.
