Background and approach
She listens first, then helps clients name patterns and try small changes that fit daily life. Courtney uses methods that match each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered care to follow the client’s goals.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to manage strong emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of her toolbox too. Mindfulness helps slow down overwhelming moments.
Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and keep going. Sessions can address concerns such as attachment wounds, body image, grief from divorce or separation, money stress, trauma reactions, pregnancy and childbirth changes, sexual identity, and feelings of shame or isolation.
She focuses on what people want to work on and helps them move toward workable routines and better coping. Courtney values steady progress over quick fixes. She invites clients to try different approaches and adjust as needed.
The aim is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and more confidence in daily life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s own goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely, follows what matters most to the client, and helps shape sessions around those goals. This approach is useful when you want guidance that respects your values and pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT often helps with anxiety, panic, low mood, and social anxiety by giving clear tools to use between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It includes techniques for distress tolerance and emotion regulation that can be practiced in daily life when emotions become overwhelming.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online therapy brings these approaches to reachable formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can fit into a short break when video is not an option. Live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep practicing between sessions.
