Background and approach
Sessions often include straightforward skills you can try between meetings. She draws on client-centered work to build trust and on cognitive behavioral strategies to notice and change unhelpful thinking. Dialectical behavior ideas help with emotion regulation and interpersonal skills, and mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing may be part of treatment for trauma when appropriate. Courtney also supports people facing life changes, grief, and career stress. She works with concerns such as addiction, self-esteem, intimacy struggles, and compassion fatigue.
Her additional focus areas include autism spectrum issues, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress. Her style is collaborative and practical. She helps clients set clear goals, try new skills, and track what works.
The aim is to make everyday life more manageable and meaningful.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Courtney often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and tailoring conversations to what matters most to the person. This helps people feel understood and guides collaborative goal setting. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend a mix of methods. That plan can change over time as progress is tracked and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching, phone sessions can be easier when video is not practical, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and messaging works well for brief updates or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
