About Courtney
Courtney Groce is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction concerns, and relationship struggles.

Courtney focuses on building self-esteem and strengthening communication. She helps people develop coping strategies that fit daily life. Sessions are aimed at making small, useful changes rather than perfect solutions.
Background and approach
Her work draws on a mix of therapies, including cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-based practices. She uses these approaches to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. The goal is clearer thinking and more purposeful action.
Courtney also brings a client-centered perspective. That means she pays attention to each person's values and goals and follows their lead. This helps people feel heard while they sort through difficult feelings or decisions.
People who reach out can expect conversational, focused sessions. Courtney helps prioritize concerns, set realistic steps, and track progress over time. She aims to support steady improvement in mood, relationships, and daily functioning.
Evidence-informed approaches and online care
Courtney uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges that come up with attention and mood.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. ACT can help when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed by strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Courtney works collaboratively to match methods to a client's goals and preferences. Together they try tools, track what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls are close to in-person sessions and allow face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options help people access support with more flexibility and fewer travel constraints.
