About Russ
Russ Sanders is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience in Georgia. He earned a master’s degree in psychology from the University of West Georgia and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and life transitions.
His work also addresses substance use concerns and grief. Russ combines several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. He draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning during hard times.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered methods guide work on values, actions, and honest self-reflection. Mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives are used when looking at patterns and emotional responses. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented.
He encourages people to name what matters to them and to take small steps toward those goals. Practical tools are offered for coping with panic, sleep disruption, low self-esteem, and workplace stress. When substance use or dual diagnosis is present, Russell integrates assessment experience into treatment planning.
Russ values a nonjudgmental stance and meets people where they are. He emphasizes motivation, personal responsibility, and gradual change rather than quick fixes. People can expect supportive coaching along with therapeutic work on difficult emotions and relationships.
Beyond one-on-one work, his background includes group formats and grief counseling. He helps adults facing transitions such as midlife concerns, postpartum mood challenges, or young adult issues. Sessions are held in English and are available to international clients when scheduling permits.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches available online and how they help
Russ often uses Existential Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and to face life’s big questions. This approach is useful for those coping with loss, midlife changes, or a sense of emptiness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another frequent approach; it focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings, committing to values-driven action, and building practical habits for anxiety, depression, or avoidance. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of his work and emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the person’s own goals guide the sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. He will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and personality. That decision can change over time as needs shift, and he adapts techniques to match progress and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for real-time conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or use brief check-ins during busy days. These options add flexibility and make regular work possible despite schedules or distance.
