About Russ
Russ Sanders is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of practice in Georgia. He holds a master's degree in psychology from the University of West Georgia and brings a straightforward, human-centered approach to therapy.
He emphasizes respect and nonjudgmental listening as the foundation of work with clients. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of him, whether that is coping with anxiety, grief, substance concerns, or life transitions. He uses mindfulness and practical conversation to help people notice patterns and choose different next steps.
Russ draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people who want clearer values and more flexible ways of responding to stress. He also uses ideas from existential and psychodynamic perspectives when they help a person make sense of long-standing patterns or life meaning questions.
His background includes individual, group, and family work, plus experience with assessment and evaluation. He has helped people facing mood disorders, addiction and dual diagnoses, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, and workplace stress.
Clients can expect a collaborative tone that treats them as the expert on their life. He aims to guide people toward practical changes that align with their goals and values, and to help them build skills that carry into daily life.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Russ commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respectful listening and helping people find their own solutions, which can be effective in conversation-based online sessions for relationship, parenting, and self-esteem concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building small actions toward those values, which helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas and techniques fit best for their goals and day-to-day life. That process can include trying different ways of working and adjusting based on what feels most helpful.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling, fewer trips to appointments, and the ability to fit brief check-ins into a workday. Because the biography does not list specific current session formats, confirm the exact options before booking. Online sessions can help people maintain continuity of care and apply skills in their normal routines without promising a particular service format.
