About Cory
Cory Russell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 11 years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, ADHD, and life changes. Cory also helps people managing career pressure, compassion fatigue, bipolar concerns, trauma and abuse, and problems that affect daily functioning.
His approach is straightforward and action oriented. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That often means naming unhelpful thinking patterns, testing different behaviors, and building small routines that reduce overwhelm.
Cory also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in current relationships. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to interfere with daily life or emotional regulation. He balances skills practice with talking through what happened and what still feels unfinished.
In sessions the focus is on practical steps. Cory helps people set clear goals and break them into manageable tasks. He works on communication, impulse control, worry management, and skills for handling anger without promising instant change.
People who contact him can expect a direct but supportive style, an emphasis on thinking-feeling-behaving patterns, and tools they can use between sessions. To begin, clients follow the practice's intake steps and schedule a first appointment.
