About Courtney
Courtney Burrus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns. She centers care on the individual's needs and emphasizes practical steps toward feeling steadier day to day. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at helping people make quick, usable changes.
With twelve years of experience, Courtney draws on several therapeutic styles to match the person in front of her.
Background and approach
She blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. She also uses solution-focused and existential ideas when clients want to clarify values and goals. Clients can expect work on emotional patterns such as attachment, abandonment, shame, and low self-esteem.
Courtney supports people coping with trauma, grief, addiction, chronic illness, and life transitions. She also helps those dealing with parenting strain, family problems, body image, and issues around intimacy and commitment. In sessions she emphasizes clear communication and practical strategies.
That can look like mapping triggers, testing new behaviors between sessions, or reframing destructive self-talk. She encourages people to identify what matters most and take small steps toward it. Her practice is conversational and goal-oriented while still holding space for deeper emotional work.
People who want coaching-style direction alongside therapy often find this blend helpful. Courtney aims to help clients build resilience and a clearer sense of purpose over time.
Approaches that guide online work and what to expect
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and builds a foundation for change by following the client's pace and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear, practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can shift as needs change over time.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone check in between sessions, get brief coaching, or use written reflections when typing feels easier. These options help people keep therapy consistent, even when life gets hectic.
