Cory Russell, LPC

Cory Russell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and trauma. He works with individuals facing ADHD, bipolar concerns, parenting and family questions, career pressure, and life transitions. Cory aims to offer practical steps so people can feel more in control of day-to-day life.

He favors straightforward methods that focus on thoughts, feelings, and behavior changes. Sessions are meant to teach skills that can be used outside the therapy room. Cory also uses attachment-focused ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and trauma-focused techniques when past hurt affects today.

His style is collaborative and down-to-earth. He helps people name the problems, set clear goals, and try small experiments to test new ways of handling stress. Cory also supports work on communication, commitment struggles, control issues, and forgiveness when those themes come up.

People who want steps they can practice between sessions often find this approach useful. Cory aims to balance validation with concrete strategies so clients feel understood and equipped to change. He accepts clients in English and works with international clients as well.

To begin, he asks people to pick a Start Therapy option, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions based on availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches guide online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in relationships and learn different ways of connecting and communicating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cory will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts the plan as progress is made and new issues arise.

Many people find online therapy helps them fit sessions into busy schedules, since appointments can be easier to attend from work or home and may save travel time. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or reduce the need to be on camera for every meeting. Confirm available session formats before booking so you know what options are offered.
