Background and approach
Her background blends client-centered listening with structured methods to shift thoughts and behaviors. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set clear, doable next steps.
Courtney uses deeper work when needed to look at attachment and inner parts that influence relationships and self-worth. That includes exploring how past hurts show up now and building tools to respond differently. She helps people practice new communication habits and boundary-setting skills.
People who come to Courtney often want both understanding and practical change. She pairs empathy with measurable strategies like skill practice and small experiments. Over time the work aims to reduce overwhelm, improve day-to-day functioning, and make relationships feel more manageable.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist prioritizes empathy and follows the client’s agenda to help clarify values and goals, which can be useful for stress, relationship struggles, and identity questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and thought records to reduce anxiety, depressive symptoms, and unhelpful habits, which can be helpful when coping with ADHD-related challenges.
Internal Family Systems works with parts of a person’s inner world to reduce internal conflict and improve self-leadership. This approach can help when old wounds or attachment patterns affect relationships and self-worth.
Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, strengths, and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as work progresses so the plan stays useful and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a brief check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life.
