About Courtney
Courtney Groce is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, addiction, grief, and major life changes. Her approach is steady and practical so people can take manageable steps forward.
Courtney uses methods that aim to build clearer thinking and stronger coping skills. She helps people notice what matters to them, practice new behaviors, and handle intense emotions without getting overwhelmed.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal oriented, with time for reflection and skill building. She also supports people working through relationship challenges, communication problems, parenting strain, and career stress. Courtney pays attention to each person's history and current pressures when shaping a plan for therapy.
This includes issues such as codependency, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, and recovery from trauma. Courtney blends acceptance-based work, cognitive tools, and client-centered listening. She encourages practical homework and simple routines to make progress between sessions.
The aim is steady improvement in daily life rather than quick fixes. People who want a therapist who listens without judgment and offers clear, concrete steps may find her style helpful. She accepts clients located in Missouri and works with international clients by offering a range of online session formats.
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Courtney commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values and commit to actions that match those values even when worry or strong feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what methods feel most useful. Together they shape a plan that mixes techniques and pace to match the client's needs rather than following a single method rigidly.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, get brief support, or use written exercises on a schedule that fits work and family demands.
