About Kourteni
Kourteni Henderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She brings five years of clinical experience and focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She frames therapy as practical work and invites people who are ready to make changes to take the first step.
She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what is on their mind. Sessions emphasize straightforward conversation and practical steps.
Background and approach
Kourteni listens for what matters most to each person and helps them prioritize manageable goals. Her work often centers on learning tools to cope with life changes, manage impulses, and handle relationship or family tensions. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction concerns, and questions about identity and purpose.
Short-term strategies and habit changes are part of the plan when they fit the client's goals. Kourteni uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on the person's own experience. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to spot patterns in thinking and try small experiments to change them.
This mix aims to balance understanding with action. Outside the therapy room she encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes. She helps people build skills they can use between sessions.
The approach is collaborative, practical, and paced to each person's readiness.
Approaches that translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's own experience and priorities. It involves listening closely, reflecting what is shared, and shaping the work around each person's goals. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and space to sort through feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviors. It uses short exercises and small experiments to test different ways of thinking and acting. CBT can help with anxiety, mood concerns, anger, and building new coping habits.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to use and how quickly to move.
Online work offers flexibility and practical options. Video calls let people have fuller conversations with visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, short reflections, or people who prefer written communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to keep progress between sessions.
