About Courtney
Courtney Cafaro is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing from Pennsylvania. She brings seven years of clinical experience and a background in psychology to her work. Courtney aims to make sessions practical and straightforward for people feeling overwhelmed.
She meets clients where they are and begins by listening to why they sought help. Early sessions focus on building rapport and clarifying what the person hopes to change.
Background and approach
From there she and the client decide together which ways of working will fit best. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, eating and intimacy-related issues, anger, and self-esteem. ADHD and parenting-related strain are also listed among her areas of focus.
She also supports people navigating career change and compassion fatigue. Courtney uses a person-centered stance that lets the client guide session priorities. She draws on practical approaches such as cognitive behavioral ideas and strength-based work to help people develop skills and small routines that make daily life easier.
Sessions are also informed by psychodynamic perspectives when exploring longer-standing patterns. People can expect clear, conversational sessions that focus on immediate concerns and real-life strategies. The therapist and client collaborate on goals and adjust methods as needed.
This flexible style is intended to fit a variety of needs and life situations.
Practical approaches and online access
Courtney commonly uses person-centered work that prioritizes your concerns and lets you steer session topics. This approach focuses on listening and helping you set the agenda so sessions address what matters most to you.She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques which break problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. These techniques help with anxiety, mood management, ADHD-related routines, and building small daily habits. Strength-based methods highlight existing skills and use those strengths to solve current problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Courtney will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods match their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in, chat and messaging offer shorter touchpoints or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible for people balancing work, family, and other commitments.
