She has experience as a trainer and practitioner of the High-Fidelity Wraparound model, which she has used to help parents and children coordinate goals and supports.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Courtney uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical steps and building supports. One approach she uses helps people identify strengths and set clear, achievable goals; it’s useful for stress, low motivation, and life direction. Another common approach involves working through trauma and difficult memories at a pace the person can manage, which helps with symptoms related to post-traumatic stress and past abuse.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She meets clients where they are and discusses what feels most helpful. Together they choose methods that fit the person’s goals, needs, and comfort level, and adjust tactics as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make sessions easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be a lighter option that needs less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging works well for quick check-ins, brief reflections between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These formats give flexibility and let people keep momentum on their goals without rearranging their whole day.
