Background and approach
Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented while also allowing room to process difficult emotions.

She also uses narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people reframe experiences and build immediate coping strategies.
Those methods are used together in ways that fit each person’s needs. Courtney is licensed as an LCSW in Texas, Arkansas, and Tennessee. She brings a decade of practice to sessions and aims to make the process understandable and manageable.
She emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes. Signing up for therapy can be a big step. Courtney guides people through the start of care with straightforward next steps and support for scheduling and matching.
She wants clients to feel seen and to leave each session with a clear next step.
How Courtney uses therapy approaches online
Courtney commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help reduce reactivity and improve awareness of the present moment.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Courtney will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps a person feel more capable and less overwhelmed.
Online therapy with Courtney is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or when a written record helps track progress. These options help people fit sessions into busy schedules and keep continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible.
