Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, evidence-informed method that helps clients notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and meet goals. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and habit-driven patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connection styles and emotional responses, helping people improve intimacy, trust, and communication in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration, giving clients space to explore their priorities and find their own solutions while the therapist offers support and nonjudgmental reflection.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Cory Russell works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress is made. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine elements from different approaches to create an individualized plan.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this work - sessions can be held by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or connect from different locations. These flexible formats help maintain continuity of care and allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels.
