Cory Russell , LPC

Cory Russell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who works with individuals facing a wide range of life challenges, including depression, anxiety, ADHD and ADD, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), parenting concerns, adjustment difficulties, relationship problems, and trouble with problem solving. He brings a practical, strategy-focused orientation to therapy and emphasizes helping people develop healthier patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving.

Cory uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as his primary approach, helping clients identify how thoughts influence emotions and actions and shaping skills to manage those patterns. His work centers on building strategies that support lasting change so clients can feel less overwhelmed, reach personal goals, and sustain improvements in daily functioning. He is flexible with session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.

As an LPC, Cory holds a credential that designates professional training and licensure in counseling. He aims to provide direction and validation while guiding clients through challenges, and he accompanies people through the process of making sense of their experiences rather than leaving them to navigate those changes alone.

Therapeutic Approaches and the Benefits of Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning practical strategies to change those patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and everyday coping. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early and current relationship patterns affect emotional responses and interpersonal functioning; it is useful for people struggling with attachment issues, communication problems, and relationship challenges. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the impact of traumatic events, offering targeted techniques to reduce the ongoing influence of past trauma on daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cory works with clients to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts treatment over time to support progress and resilience.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access therapists from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support while accommodating clients who need different communication formats.
