Background and approach
Cortney believes therapy should fit the person's life, not the other way around. She encourages honest conversation, gentle reflection on past hurts, and practical steps to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Clinically she draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and client-centered work to keep sessions focused on each person's goals.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness skills to manage stress, mood, and impulsivity. Solution-focused methods help set small, achievable goals when people need faster changes. Cortney has worked in independent practice and school settings, giving her experience with a wide range of concerns and life stages.
Her additional focus areas include ADHD, trauma and abuse, postpartum and pregnancy concerns, and communication or family of origin issues. She speaks English and practices in Texas. People who choose Cortney can expect a collaborative atmosphere where the counselor and client set goals together.
Sessions aim to combine real-world tools with attention to emotional healing, so people leave with both insight and usable steps forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now. It helps people understand repeating dynamics in close relationships and build healthier ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful behavior patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cortney will work with each person to match methods to their concerns, goals, and preferences. Together they’ll try practical strategies, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for fuller conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier on low bandwidth or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when it’s easier to write than speak. These options make it possible to fit therapy around work, childcare, or daily life commitments.
