Challis Russell regards mental health as an essential part of overall health and well-being. She practices with a holistic focus, aiming to support clients across their physical, social, and emotional lives while guiding care with empathy and understanding.
She listens carefully to learn each person’s unique needs and adapts her approach to fit those priorities. After earning a master’s degree in clinical counseling from Johns Hopkins University, she worked with a diverse mix of clients, including adults, couples, families, and adolescents.
Challis has experience supporting people affected by anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic violence, and immigration-related challenges, and she is prepared to offer counseling to those populations. She practices in South Carolina and is a licensed professional counselor in that state (SC LPC 7920), bringing three years of clinical experience to her work.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions for most cases.
One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can choose the format that works best for them - video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging - which often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Therapists who provide online services are licensed professionals, and clients may switch providers if they prefer a different therapeutic fit. This combination of accessibility and professional care makes online therapy a practical option for many people seeking support.
