About Courtney
Courtney Willis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on practical support for anxiety and stress. She offers straightforward guidance and a calm presence to help people start making small changes. Courtney emphasizes respect and compassion in every conversation.

Background and approach
Coaching and compassion fatigue appear among the issues she helps with as well. Courtney uses familiar, hands-on methods to shape each session. She tailors talks and plans to the person in front of her instead of using a one-size-fits-all script.
Expect practical ideas you can try between meetings and clear steps to track progress. Her approach includes techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help manage thoughts, emotions, and reactions. Sessions aim to teach skills for stress reduction, emotional regulation, and healthier relationship patterns.
Starting therapy can feel hard, and Courtney acknowledges that first-step courage. She guides people through the sign-up and matching process, then works with them to set goals and priorities. The focus is on steady, manageable change that fits each person’s life.
How CBT and DBT translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with small experiments. It helps people reduce anxiety and change behaviors that keep problems going.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful for stress, intense anger, and relationship conflicts where emotion regulation is a priority.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and personal preferences. Sessions often blend CBT and DBT tools so people get skills and clear steps that fit their life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions let people practice skills in real time. Phone sessions are good for a lower-bandwidth check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, on-the-go exchanges and more frequent touchpoints between longer meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
