Kellie Cousino, LCSW, LISW-CP

Kellie Cousino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) with 10 years of experience. She practices in South Carolina and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, depression, relationship and family issues, parenting, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Kellie keeps sessions direct and down-to-earth. She invites honesty and real talk instead of clinical distance. She does not promise quick fixes, and she describes change as messy. Clients can expect a straightforward approach that focuses on practical steps and real outcomes over time.

Her work addresses practical patterns that make life harder. That includes codependency, communication problems, control issues, impulsivity, and struggles with forgiveness, guilt, or shame. She also supports people dealing with blended family challenges, divorce or separation, and substance use concerns.

Kellie has spent a decade helping people manage midlife transitions, examine attachment and abandonment concerns, and process trauma. She also lists experience with veteran and armed forces issues and compassion fatigue. Sessions center on identifying unhelpful patterns and trying different strategies in everyday situations.

People who choose Kellie often want a therapist who is frank and relatable. She encourages clients to be themselves during sessions. Her goal is steady progress through practical work, not promises of instant change.
