About Courtney
Courtney Hendrickson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of clinical therapy experience and more than 20 years in the social work field. She practices in Florida and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and self esteem concerns. Courtney tends to work with teens and young adults while also supporting parents through family challenges.
She believes clients know their own stories and brings a practical, team-based approach to therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions look at strengths and real-life steps a person can try between meetings. Courtney offers guidance while encouraging clients to direct the goals and pace of change. Courtney has training and experience using the High-Fidelity Wraparound model to build goal-focused teams, and she has served as a trainer in that model.
That work often involves coordinating supports around a young person and their caregivers to meet shared objectives. Her career includes recognized work with youth and survivors of domestic and teen violence. Those experiences inform how she listens for safety, helps people set boundaries, and supports recovery from traumatic events.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process rather than a lecture. Sessions emphasize straightforward problem solving and skills practice. Courtney helps people break big problems into manageable steps and builds strategies for communication and coping.
She aims to be a steady partner so clients do not carry hard changes alone.
Evidence-based approaches and online options
Many of Courtney's clinical methods center on practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on coping skills and coordinated support. One common approach she uses is strengths-based work, which helps people identify what already works for them and then build on those abilities to manage stress and anxiety. This approach is useful for improving confidence and everyday coping.She also applies team-based models like the High-Fidelity Wraparound process to bring people and supports together around clear goals. That method helps organize resources, improve communication, and create a shared plan for youth and caregivers who want coordinated action. For trauma-related concerns she draws on trauma-informed practices that focus on safety, pacing, and rebuilding a sense of control after difficult events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions about focus and pace are made together so treatment fits the person's life.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different situations. Video lets people connect face to face, phone uses less bandwidth, chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions, manage follow-ups, and keep steady contact during the course of care.
