About Courtney
Courtney Cafaro is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and life changes. Courtney takes a practical, person-centered approach to understand what each person wants from therapy.
She begins by asking straightforward questions about why someone reached out and what they hope to change. Early sessions focus on building rapport and gathering the facts needed to shape treatment.
Background and approach
That information guides the choice of techniques used in later sessions. Courtney draws on a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioral ideas and strength-based methods. She adapts sessions to suit each person instead of following a single method.
This means sessions often include skill-building, problem solving, and time to talk through difficult experiences. Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master’s in forensic psychology. Those studies, plus years of clinical work, inform how she assesses symptoms and supports recovery.
She has worked with a range of concerns such as trauma, bipolar disorder, addiction, grief, and issues around intimacy and parenting. Courtney practices in Pennsylvania and offers care in English. She aims to create clear goals with each person and to adjust plans as needs change.
Her style is direct, supportive, and focused on practical steps people can use between sessions.
How court-ordered approaches meet online care
Courtney uses a blend of evidence-based techniques that translate well to online work. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; these methods teach concrete skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Strength-based approaches identify and build on a person’s existing skills and resources, helping with recovery from trauma, compassion fatigue, and life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Courtney collaborates with each person to set goals and then chooses methods that fit those goals and personal preferences. She adjusts the plan over the first few sessions based on what is working and what feels manageable.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for steady check-ins, quick coping tools, or when journaling by message feels easier. These options provide flexibility to fit sessions into busy days and to keep continuity when schedules change.
