About Courtney
Courtney Brooke Sergent-Fox is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on everyday struggles like relationships, work pressures, grief, and big life changes. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at easing what feels overwhelming right now.
She sees the person, not just the problem. Courtney believes clients know their own story and brings tools to help them move forward. Sessions tend to center on clear goals and small steps that add up over time.
Background and approach
Her approach draws from methods that work well for anxiety and trauma. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and Mindfulness to build calm and presence. She also incorporates EMDR when trauma memories are getting in the way of daily life.
Over ten years of experience in Kentucky inform her practice. Courtney tailors strategies to each situation, whether someone needs help with social anxiety, intimacy concerns, or career stress. She values practical change alongside emotional understanding.
Clients can expect conversational sessions that focus on what they want to accomplish. Courtney helps people set achievable steps and practices to use between sessions. The aim is steady progress toward clearer thinking and more manageable days.
Therapeutic approaches for online anxiety care
Courtney commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy when working online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change thinking patterns that fuel anxiety, and it includes practical exercises to test new ways of thinking. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and to bring focus back to the present moment.She may also use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma-related difficulties when memories are disrupting daily life. EMDR is a structured process that can reduce the intensity of distressing memories and the reactions they trigger.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Courtney will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels doable, then adapt methods to fit the person's needs. Clients set the pace and she helps choose tools that match their situation.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation and practice exercises. Phone sessions work well when audio is easier than video or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit short check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work and family life.
