About Courtney
Courtney Brooke Sergent-Fox greets people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or major life changes with steady support and practical tools. She is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, based in Kentucky. Her style is straightforward and focused on what helps in daily life.
Courtney centers sessions on each person’s strengths. She believes clients are the experts on their own stories. Together they set small, achievable goals and try techniques that fit into real routines.
Background and approach
Her work covers a range of concerns including grief, intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, and career or workplace stress. She also helps with body image, communication problems, first responder issues, money and financial stress, and questions about life purpose. Courtney uses practical therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies.
She also incorporates motivational interviewing and EMDR when appropriate. Sessions are aimed at helping people reduce symptoms and build clearer next steps. With about 10 years of professional experience, she draws from varied settings to tailor what she offers to each person.
Her approach is collaborative, direct, and rooted in everyday solutions rather than abstract theory.
Approaches that translate to online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It helps with anxiety, stress, and workplace or relationship patterns by teaching skills to change reactions and behaviors.EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, works with troubling memories or intense emotional reactions. In brief, it helps reduce the hold past events can have so people can move forward with less distress.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calmer responses to daily challenges. It pairs well with skill work from CBT to make coping strategies easier to use in the moment.
Courtney treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will discuss what feels most comfortable and what fits the person’s goals, then try methods together and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps match techniques to real-life needs.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can support ongoing skill practice between meetings. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
