Background and approach

Her approach draws on talking therapy that centers the client's experience and on tools to address thoughts and behaviors that cause distress. She also uses ideas from attachment-focused work to look at how close relationships shape current struggles. Therapy conversations often include goal-setting and skills-building tailored to daily life.

With ten years of professional experience, Courtney has worked across issues like grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleep problems, parenting stress, and career transitions. She supports people dealing with shame, body image questions, substance use, and identity-related issues, including LGBT and gender dysphoria concerns.

Courtney works with people to identify what matters most to them and to develop practical routines that fit their life. She offers a steady, compassionate presence and helps clients track progress in ways that feel concrete and achievable.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online sessions

Courtney blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas to focus on practical change. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to build trust and clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships influence current patterns. That perspective helps when intimacy, communication, or long-standing trust issues come up. Choosing the right mix of approaches happens together - the therapist and client decide what fits the person's goals and day-to-day life, and they adjust the plan over time.

Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions fit busy schedules. Video is useful for fuller conversations and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier if bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, shorter exchanges, or follow-up between sessions. These options give flexibility for people managing work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping therapy consistent.
