Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing inform how she shapes goals and plans in session. Many people come to Courtney wanting clearer communication, relief from worry, or help managing grief and anger. She also supports people coping with trauma, identity-related stress, workplace concerns, and midlife shifts.
Her approach emphasizes practical tools and steady progress rather than jargon or long lectures. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Courtney works with each person to set realistic goals and track what helps.
She aims to make therapy feel manageable for busy lives and complicated family situations. Courtney holds an LCSW, which is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, and practices while based in Oregon. She offers help for a wide range of life challenges and focuses on making change feel doable and concrete.
CBT and Motivational Interviewing for online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. It often uses concrete exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Motivational Interviewing focuses on what a person wants to change and builds motivation through guided conversation and clear goal-setting; it can be useful for making career shifts, changing habits, or tackling ambivalence about relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and outcome-focused.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family life, and other commitments while focusing on the same practical tools and goals used in face-to-face work.
