About Russell

Russell Goodwin is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with ten years of practice. He is based in North Carolina and focuses on helping adults move forward from anxiety, depression, and major life changes. He favors a practical, goal-focused way of working and partners with clients to set clear steps toward change.

Russell uses simple, evidence-informed techniques to look at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. Sessions aim to identify what matters to the client and build small workable habits in daily life.

Background and approach

He blends skills training with short-term coaching to create momentum rather than staying stuck on problems. Clients can expect a collaborative style. Conversations are direct but empathetic, with an emphasis on realistic goals.

Russell helps people break big issues into manageable tasks and tracks progress along the way. He works with concerns such as stress, self-esteem, relationships, addiction, grief, trauma, and career questions. He also addresses issues linked to attachment, codependency, communication problems, parenting strain, and body image.

Treatment plans are tailored to the person’s needs and priorities. Russell uses practices drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques. These approaches are chosen to match each client’s situation and goals.

He offers sessions through several online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Approaches and Online Options that Fit Your Life

Russell commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying what matters most and taking steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with clients to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That process may include trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues; phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited; live chat or messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, coaching-style exchanges, or when typing feels easier. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep progress steady regardless of location.
