About Courtney
Courtney Dunson is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and related concerns. She focuses on restoring day-to-day stability so people can cope better with stress and painful memories. Her approach is practical and steady, aimed at helping someone feel safer in their body and clearer about next steps.
Courtney places emphasis on building resilience before moving into intense processing. That means safe pacing, learning calming skills, and strengthening routines that reduce overwhelm.
Background and approach
She helps people who tire under the weight of traumatic experiences find ways to manage symptoms and reclaim parts of life that feel lost. Her work often addresses worries about attachment, codependency, and relationship patterns that feed anxiety. She also supports people dealing with obsessive thinking, eating and sleep struggles, anger, and grief.
Sessions look at how past wounds shape current reactions and what practical changes make daily life more livable. Courtney blends approaches to match the person in front of her. She draws from attachment-focused work, cognitive-behavioral tools, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to build emotional regulation and clearer thinking.
Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or uncertain about change. Based in Colorado, she brings seven years of clinical experience as an LPC. People can expect a calm, attentive style that prioritizes safety and step-by-step progress.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Approaches that guide online therapy
Courtney uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns affect current trust and closeness. That approach helps people understand repeating dynamics and build healthier ways of relating. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.Finding the right fit is part of the process. She partners with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and comfort level. Together they decide whether to focus on skills first, process past hurts, or blend methods depending on progress and preference.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation when you want more personal connection. Phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or not being on camera is preferable. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, skill practice, or people who prefer writing to talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
