Hello! If you are exploring BetterHelp, it is likely that you are struggling with something significant in your life. Finding the right person to help you through these challenges is very important. If you don't have a good relationship with your counselor, you won't make the progress you are hoping to achieve. I want to provide you with some information about me in order to help you decide if my experience and style is the right match for you. I have been a Mental Health Provider for more than 9 years and have experience working with people from all different backgrounds who are struggling with a wide variety of challenges. Much of my experience has been working with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, and the couples counseling. The feedback I receive from clients is that they find me to be caring and nonjudgmental, and they appreciate that I am honest and direct with them. You can expect me to walk with you through whatever difficulties you are facing and help you learn more about yourself and the way you interact with the world. I can interact with you in whatever manner you are most comfortable. I find it helpful to participate in sessions with whatever platform you are comfortable with. A majority of my availability is in the evenings and on the weekends but I check messages at least once during each weekday. I know how hard it can be to find a counselor who you feel a connection with and I would be honored to work with you through this stage of your life. *****Disclaimer: I do not provide documentation/letters for courts or work. *****

Hi! My name is Russell or Rusty or Russ, whichever you prefer. My approach is casual, but also rooted in science. Like an astronaut might say they “always knew they wanted to be an astronaut”, I’ve always known I wanted to be a therapist. I’ve studied the more interesting psychological treatment approaches, like humanistic theory, motivational and mindfulness based approaches, but graduated from a rigorous Psychology program rooted in the science of Cognitive Behavioral Theory. My Master's degree is a Master’s of Science in Social Work. I believe that there’s a framework that fits everyone and every problem, but that good outcomes are rooted in a good therapeutic rapport as well as an approach that actually works. Let’s let your challenges guide our treatment approach, I’m here to listen and help you solve!

As a therapist, I am often asked, "What is your passion?" The answer is simple: my passion is YOU. My ideal client is those who feel stuck and overwhelmed by the weight of life and are burdened by negative core beliefs that make it hard to see their own worth. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, or feelings that they have to carry everything alone. Some may have experienced trauma, instability, or disruptions in relationships and family dynamics-and yet, they still long for healing, connection and peace. My ideal client is also someone who desires change but isn't quite sure where to start. I use client led therapy. You lead in your own journey, and I am just along to help guide you. I offer CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing and a spiritual perspective to help you in your healing when desired. Whether you are navigating personal identity, relational challenges, parenting struggles, or any other complex situation-I am here to help. Everyone can use a listening ear from time to time. I offer a gentle, non-judgmental approach in my therapy practice. I offer compassion and encouragement to my clients who often feel defeated. My role is to walk alongside you as you challenge long held beliefs, discover your strengths and learn tools that support lasting change. I would be honored to help you in your journey to healing. My approach is unique because I will not push you beyond your level of readiness. Therapy has to be client led. I will encourage you, but not push you too far beyond your comfort zone. Sessions with me are completely non-judgmental. I will be your biggest cheerleader in your journey.

Find a therapist near you in Blaine, Kentucky
Finding a therapist near you in Blaine, Kentucky starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Kentucky is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you.
The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.
Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Kentucky, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Kentucky, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.
What concerns can therapists help with?
Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows.

Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
