Kellie Cousino, LCSW, LISW-CP

Kellie Cousino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) practicing in South Carolina with ten years of experience. She offers help for stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Kellie also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment, blended family challenges, codependency, communication problems, control issues, separation and divorce, domestic violence, substance use, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose or midlife transition.

Her approach is straightforward and down-to-earth. Sessions are practical and conversational. She invites honest talk and does not judge. She acknowledges that change is difficult and often messy, and she will work alongside clients through those moments.

Kellie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns. That means working on day-to-day coping skills, patterns in relationships, and practical steps to reduce substance-related harms or addictive behaviors. She also supports people who are dealing with the emotional aftermath of trauma and abuse.

Therapy sessions look at real-life routines and responsibilities. Kellie helps people sort priorities, manage stressors like work or parenting, and build clearer communication. She offers tools for sleep, emotion regulation, and managing impulsive urges.

People who choose Kellie can expect direct feedback, concrete strategies, and space to be honest about setbacks. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to plan next steps.
