About Courtney
Courtney Brothers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, LGBT concerns, family issues, and major life changes. She brings ten years of practice to help people find clearer ways to cope. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to begin.
Her approach is straightforward and respectful. She creates a calm space where people can talk through thoughts and feelings without feeling judged.
Background and approach
She views each person as the expert on their own life and highlights the strengths they already have. Courtney uses practical techniques from acceptance and commitment methods and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. She blends this with client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to set goals that matter to the person.
Mindfulness practices are used when helpful to reduce stress in daily life. Sessions focus on clear, short-term goals and step-by-step strategies. That can include coping plans for anxiety, ways to manage mood shifts, or support during major transitions like separation or caregiving strain.
She also supports people navigating pregnancy and childbirth concerns and women’s issues. People often leave sessions with simple actions to practice between meetings. The work is collaborative - ideas are tested, adjusted, and shaped around what actually fits each person’s life.
Courtney aims to help clients feel more capable of handling what comes next.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions when someone wants to build a more meaningful daily routine. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new responses. It is often used for anxiety and mood concerns to reduce symptoms through clear exercises.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to figure out which methods match their goals and preferences. Together they try strategies, see what helps, and adjust the plan over time so it fits real life.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls provide face-to-face conversations for deeper exchanges, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between sessions.
