About Courtney
Courtney Brothers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, LGBT concerns, family conflict, and major life changes. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people feel heard and steady during hard moments.
Courtney creates a calm space where clients can talk through their thoughts and feelings without judgment. She treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps that fit into daily life, not lengthy theory talks. Her approach blends several practical therapies. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to meaningful action.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thinking patterns that keep stress or low mood in place. Mindfulness practices and client-centered listening round out the work. Clients can expect clear goals and short-term tools alongside deeper personal work.
Courtney pays attention to what matters most to each person and adapts the pace to their needs. She draws on ten years of experience as an LCSW to guide sessions without taking over the story. If someone is juggling caregiving demands, navigating divorce, handling pregnancy or postpartum shifts, or managing mood and trauma symptoms, she helps make these challenges more manageable.
The focus is on usable skills, steady support, and practical steps forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Courtney commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice and make space for difficult thoughts while taking steps toward what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and replacing them with practical strategies to reduce stress and low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try different methods if needed. The plan is shaped by what the client hopes to change and the pace that feels manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and fuller visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or comfort with video is a concern. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or when someone needs flexibility during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily routines.
