About Cory
Cory Russell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience helping people navigate big life challenges. He works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship strain, and career stress. Cory aims to make therapy practical and straightforward for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
Clients meet a therapist who uses clear, hands-on methods to change thinking and behavior. Sessions focus on making small, manageable shifts that add up over time.
How Cory works
Cory emphasizes realistic strategies that people can use between sessions. He blends approaches that pay attention to how people connect with others and how their thoughts shape feelings and actions. That combination helps when dealing with trauma, attachment concerns, or ongoing mood difficulties.
The goal is to improve daily coping and reduce repeated patterns that cause pain. Cory often helps with relationship communication, commitment concerns, and the fallout from separation or infidelity. He also supports people coping with anger, guilt, shame, and burnout from caregiving roles.
Work on boundaries, problem solving, and decision making is common in sessions. Therapy with Cory is collaborative and focused on the next steps you can take. He encourages practical homework and straightforward feedback so progress is clear.
To start, people typically complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Cory’s Approaches Work Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Online CBT sessions help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical tools to reduce anxiety, depression, and impulsive reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and communication; it is useful when people struggle with trust, commitment issues, or repeated relationship conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cory will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then shape sessions collaboratively. That can mean using more CBT tools some weeks and shifting toward attachment-focused conversations as relationship themes emerge.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people work face to face when discussing sensitive material. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or a lower bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching-style prompts, or when someone wants written reflections they can reread. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or caregiving schedules without long commutes.
