Russell Baxter, LPC-MHSP

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with Mental Health Service Provider designation in Tennessee and a master’s degree in Clinical Counseling. I provide online therapy for adults, couples, and groups throughout Tennessee, with a primary focus on Nashville.

My clinical background includes residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient care, and outpatient therapy. Over the past decade, I have worked with trauma, mood disorders, personality patterns, addiction and compulsive behavior, relationship distress, and the complicated places where people feel stuck but cannot quite explain why.

I specialize in relational and attachment-focused work: the patterns that show up in dating, marriage, sex, conflict, avoidance, self-worth, family history, and the ways people protect themselves when closeness has not always felt safe. I also work with compulsive sexual behavior, sexual functioning concerns, trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and life transitions.

My training includes modern psychoanalytic and relational psychodynamic therapy, SAFE EMDR, ACT, IFS parts work, attachment-based therapy, family systems, EFT, and Gottman-informed couples work. I have also trained through IITAP in compulsive sexual behavior and participate in professional communities focused on group therapy and modern analysis.

Clients often experience me as warm, thoughtful, engaged, and gently direct. I care about being clinically sound and evidence-informed, but I also care about being a real person in the room with you.
