About Courtney
Courtney Dunson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people carrying heavy emotional burdens. She supports those facing anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, trauma and related struggles. Her approach aims to relieve stress so people can function better day to day.
Courtney focuses on safety and stability before moving into difficult memories. She works with clients to strengthen emotional and nervous system resilience. That gives people tools to manage intense feelings and reduces the overwhelm that keeps problems stuck.
Background and approach
Her sessions blend practical skills and reflective conversation. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking, dialectical strategies to tolerate strong emotions, and attachment-based work to understand close relationships. Motivational interviewing and client-centered principles help people find their own reasons to change.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Courtney listens for patterns such as perfectionism, compulsive behaviors, or chronic self-criticism and then helps create manageable steps forward. She also addresses issues like body image, codependency, OCD traits, and struggles with intimacy or control.
With seven years of experience, Courtney brings steady support and clear options for people wanting change. She explains choices in plain language and works collaboratively to build a plan that fits each person’s life. If someone wants to explore healing from past wounds while gaining concrete coping skills, she offers a calm and organized way to get started.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how past relationship experiences shape present feelings and behaviors. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective exercises to identify attachment patterns and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different actions. In remote sessions this often looks like setting small at-home experiments, tracking moods between meetings, and rehearsing new responses with therapist guidance.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust based on what helps the person make steady progress rather than committing to a single path up front.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and do longer sessions. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work when internet bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, timely exchanges or reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving demands.
