How Courtney Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. It often includes practical exercises to use between sessions and clear goals to track progress.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative approach that helps people find their own reasons to change. It is useful when someone feels stuck with habits like substance use or when motivation is low for shifts in relationships or self-care.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest strategies to try. Choices are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or brief coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and other commitments.
