Cory Russell offers a fresh start for individuals ready to make meaningful changes. With eleven years of clinical experience, he works with people facing a range of challenges including stress, anxiety, depression, attention-related concerns such as ADHD and ADD, oppositional behaviors like ODD, parenting worries, relationship difficulties, and trouble with adjustment and problem solving. He also addresses issues related to self-esteem, family conflict, trauma and abuse, anger management, career struggles, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and provides coaching support.

He is a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina, holding the state license SC LPC 6131, and he emphasizes practical, skills-based work that helps clients manage thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Cory’s primary method is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an approach that focuses on how thinking patterns influence feelings and actions. His aim is to help clients adopt strategies that promote healthier thinking, steadier emotions, and more effective behaviors so changes are sustainable and goals become achievable.

Cory makes room for flexibility in how sessions are scheduled and delivered, adapting to each person’s needs and availability. He recognizes that people often need direction, validation, and clarity to make sense of what is happening in their lives, and he partners with clients through that process. As a therapist, he provides guidance so clients do not have to navigate those challenges alone.
