Kellie Cousino, LCSW, LISW-CP

Kellie Cousino is a licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma, sleep problems, and depression. She offers a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can be themselves and talk through hard feelings. Kellie says change is messy and she will stay alongside people during that process.

Her style is down-to-earth and occasionally lighthearted. She aims to reduce shame and guilt by challenging unhelpful self-talk and reminding people of their strengths. Conversations focus on practical steps that people can try between sessions to see small shifts over time.

With ten years of experience, Kellie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address substance use, relationship strain, anger, and life transitions. She works with parents dealing with blended family dynamics, codependency and communication problems, and people coping with abandonment or attachment wounds. Kellie also supports those handling midlife questions, career or purpose concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Kellie holds the credential Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, and is also a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice designation, LISW-CP. She practices in South Carolina and conducts sessions in English.

To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and subscription details.

How Kellie uses evidence-based techniques online

Kellie draws on practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address addiction, trauma, and anxiety. One approach focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by identifying patterns and trying small, manageable experiments to test new ways of coping. This can help with cravings, anxiety spikes, and negative self-talk. Another strand emphasizes emotion regulation and grounding skills that teach simple steps to reduce overwhelm and improve sleep and daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kellie works collaboratively with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals and preferences. She adapts strategies over time based on what is helping and what feels realistic to practice between sessions.

If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, so strategies transfer more readily into daily routines.
