If you are ready for a new beginning, schedule a session today. I am flexible with sessions as well. I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, ADD, ODD, parenting concerns, adjustment issues, relationship problems, and issues problem solving. In addition to the different areas I focus on, I am flexible with sessions.
My primary therapeutic approach is called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This approach is useful in addressing how you think, feel, and behave. It is my belief that how we think, makes us feel, and we behave accordingly. My goal is to address your life’s struggles with strategies that allow you to be more empowered to maintain changes (i.e. healthier thinking, feeling, and behaving), reach goals, and feel less overwhelmed with all of the things that are going on in your world.
We sometimes are in need of direction, validation, and make sense of what is going on in our world. As your therapist, you will not be alone in this journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Cory is always professional and always helpful and has helped me learn and grow as well as help me with being a better parent.
Cory is great and I love the tools he uses to help me. I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of a little “push” :)
Probably not the best to put a survey out when you’re half way through learning things. This survey came out when I was like, no, I don’t see it that way. So put surveys at the end of the experience.
He is awesome he is absolutely modern very intelligent
With the few sessions I had with Cory he helped me realize and rationalize things about myself and how I conduct myself with others. He’s very kind and respectful and clearly has a lot of knowledge and passion for what he does. If I am to come back to betterhelp I would 100% come back to Cory.
Cory has been great offering advice and tasks for me to complete
Cory has been astounding. He has helped me to understand, though I may know what is going on around me, that there are always better ways to maneuver and see things from multiple angles. How to take a situation and analyze it without frustration, without anger and to help in the acceptance of the things that we cannot change. He's been helpful in the short time that we have spent together thus far.
I was able to improve anger issues and notice some of my deep rooted childhood issues I had not noticed before. Totally recommend Cory
Cory was great! He helped me see a lot of the positives in my life and helped me through my decision to be sober. I wish he could stay
Cory has been amazing! He took the time to listen to everything I had to share and worked through each area with me. I really enjoyed his approach and strategies. I felt confident to make the changes I needed to and feel in a better position moving forward. Would definitely recommended!
Cory is the definition of a great counselor. He listens, he understands and he gives a remedy
Cory was very helpful and supportive in his advice. He walked me through the thought processes he suggested and always made sure I understood them.
The best thing I did for myself for 2022 was get from from Betterhelp and more specifically, from Cory. He has been incredible and I recommend him without hesitation. I'll be back to continue my sessions soon.
Cory has been absolutely terrific helping me work through my challenges. He has helped me observe my own behaviors and those of the people around me from a different perspective.
Cory is an amazing therapist. I feel genuinely supported and listened to by him. I am always looking forward to my session with him as he is also a very friendly person. Would recommend him 100% as he is what I would have expected from a therapist.
I am extremely grateful for Mr. Russell and his expertise. Thank you.
He has been a huge help for me in regaining control in many aspects of my life and to change the way I approach tasks and how I behave :)! Would recommend 100%
Excellent
You have been instrumental in the changes I have made in the life and I appreciate your honesty and guidance.
Cory has been a great therapist. He listens and gives me actionable advise that has helped me tremendously. He has a very good energy and I feel positive after each session with him. He has a good sense of humour about my incorrect self-diagnoses and is not condescending at all. I highly recommend him.
It has been an absolute pleasure working with Cory. He has been a comforting, stabilising presence in my life at a time when I have found things going absolutely haywire. Building a good rapport with him was key for the sessions to have a meaningful impact and I was delighted to be able to build it so quickly. His ability to make pointed observations and ask direct and thought-provoking questions have allowed me to understand myself better and introspect much more. His advocacy for a goal-oriented, incremental approach to self-improvement and problem solving strongly resonated with me and helped me chart a course to work on independently. I hope to touch base with him again at some point in the future to assess where things stand after working on the strategies we have set out. I would highly recommend him as a therapist to anyone seeking help.
Cory has helped me see progress and make positive life changes.
Cory is amazing! Very understanding and knowledgeable, I always feel comfortable talking to him and listening to his advice. He has really helped me grow as a person over the few past weeks. I would definitely recommend him to everyone I know.
Cory is an excellent counselor. He listens to me and relates to my situation. He offers suggestions and advice that is helpful and achievable. I would highly recommend him as a counselor for anyone.
I have had only three sessions with Cory Russell so far but they have been more than helpful. He is very easy to talk to, I was able to talk through my emotions while feeling safe and welcoming. Cory also asks the few right questions and nails the cause of my problem, which shows how talented he is.
Cory has been a massive help for me to cope with the big change that happened in my life and my kids. He is very professional, calm and the tools he used for me to better understand who I really am and what I can overcome, I must say are very effective. I have problems with family conflicts, separation, confidence, anxiety and depression and how to lift myself up from being broken. He helped me tremendously. I highly recommend Cory.
I am honestly glad I chose to stick around with Russell. He makes communication easy and comfortable. As well he is transparent with feedback, which I greatly appreciate. He may not seem like an ideal fit at first, but give it some time you will find your rhythm with him.
He has helped climbed out of my lowest lows. It’s like talking to a close friend sometimes. Makes sure you tackle all your problems and issues and move forward in a healthy manner.
Went through a bit of a situation in regards to my own identity and relationship. Cory would always provide context to help me understand why things would happen the way they would but more importantly, helped me see what areas I need to work on and how to work on them. Thank you!
Best person I’ve ever met
Cory Russel is an excellent Counselor. He listens and keeps notes so he does not forget, he gives you space to talk when you want to, and provides you with relevant information from his expertise to help you find solutions. He is engaging and cheerful, while taking your situation seriously. He makes sure that he understands your situation well and that the next steps are clear for you. I truly appreciate the effort he has made in our sessions. The expert advice he has provided and the space to talk in a safe place has helped me enormously.
He is very patient and understands the issues and guidance.
I've only had 2 sessions but it's such a different, more positive experience than previous counselling I've had.
Cory is an amazing counselor! He's helped me greatly in dealing with my issues, stress, and anxiety. He's always very supportive and understanding and provided me with the necessary tools to face tough times in a much more comfortable fashion!
He is very understanding and gives great unbiased advice. I enjoy our sessions and have learned a few thibgs about myself that I was not aware of. He makes it a safe space to vent without judgement so you feel more inclined to share openly.
Corey is a fantastic listener and makes the session feel extremely casual, as if you are talking to a friend that happens to be a trained psychologist.
Provides professional guidance and support by offering mental health strategies which have enhanced my coping mechanisms. Corey has excellent interpersonal skills and establishes rapport easily. He is knowledgeable about CBT and uses this knowledge to facilitate and interpret my perspective regarding personal and professional issues.
