About Courtney
Courtney Meder is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with seven years of experience helping people facing anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, trauma, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She focuses on clear conversation and practical steps. She aims to make the first appointments feel straightforward and manageable for someone worried about reaching out.
She works one-on-one and adapts sessions to the person in front of her rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talking through what is most troubling, learning small coping tools, and planning steps to test new habits. She stresses respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every meeting. Courtney has experience addressing a wide range of concerns, including panic attacks, social anxiety and phobia, somatic symptoms, sexual concerns, infidelity, and issues around commitment and life purpose.
She also supports people navigating chronic pain, illness, or disability and those involved in BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. She will not conduct couples therapy but will help individuals process relationship problems. Her work draws on methods such as acceptance and commitment approaches, client-centered conversation, cognitive-behavioral tools, and skills from dialectical behavior ideas.
She explains techniques in plain language and helps people try them between sessions when useful. People who prefer straightforward dialogue, practical strategies, and a steady supportive tone may find her style a good fit. She guides each person toward goals they define and adjusts plans as progress is made.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on values and small committed steps toward a life that matters to the individual, which can be useful for anxiety, grief, and life purpose work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and tests new behaviors. CBT often includes practical exercises to try between sessions to reduce panic, social anxiety, and rumination.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest approaches that fit. Sessions may combine techniques so the plan reflects what helps you most, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, medical schedules, or days when being on camera is difficult. Many people find that regular short contacts plus occasional longer sessions help maintain momentum and apply new skills in daily life.
