Matthew Russell is a licensed professional counselor in Alabama with seven years of experience working in addictions and mental health. He has helped people coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, relationship concerns and related issues.
His practice emphasizes the client’s perspective and a client-centered approach - he believes people have the capacity to help themselves when given the opportunity and support. When clients identify specific obstacles to their goals, he incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy to address those barriers. He focuses therapy on the client’s present, day-to-day life and works to help clients become who they want to be.
Watching people learn and grow is a core motivation for his work. He believes meaningful change is possible and that people can build fulfilling lives, and he is glad to be part of that process. He is licensed to practice in Alabama as a professional counselor, which indicates he meets state standards for providing counseling (AL LPC 4270).
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main benefits is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the way that suits them best - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to schedule sessions and maintain continuity of care amid busy routines.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients may choose to switch therapists if they prefer a different fit. For many, online therapy provides a practical and effective way to access professional support for everyday mental health concerns.
