Background and approach
Her background includes work with people affected by domestic violence, anger issues, parenting concerns, and trauma. Over the years she has supported people coping with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, dissociative identity disorder, and borderline personality patterns. She has also worked with people from many racial, religious, and gender backgrounds, including LGBTQ individuals.
Courtney has provided couples counseling and family therapy as part of her practice. Her approach is collaborative and practical. Clients help set the goals, and she offers tools and strategies to reach them.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps and real-world changes rather than abstract theory. Courtney integrates trauma-informed care into her work and aims to tailor methods to each person's needs. She describes her role as a guide who rides alongside clients while they do the work.
The emphasis is on helping people build skills for stress, relationships, grief, coping with life changes, and other concerns.
Evidence-based methods and flexible online care
Two evidence-based approaches that often appear in her work are trauma-focused cognitive behavioral methods and person-centered techniques. Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral approaches help people name and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck after traumatic events. Person-centered work emphasizes the client's goals and experience, giving them control over what to focus on and when to move forward.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit best for their situation, goals, and preferences. That collaboration shapes the pace and tools used in sessions so care matches what the person needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between scheduled sessions and can be helpful for quick reflections or tracking progress. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules.
