About Courtney
Courtney Cannon is a licensed professional counselor with ten years of experience based in Pennsylvania. She focuses on building a calm, welcoming space where people can feel seen and heard. Courtney aims to help clients identify what matters most and set small, practical steps toward change.
She believes the person in the room knows their life best. Her role is to ask helpful questions, reflect what she hears, and offer tools clients can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Early visits focus on clarifying priorities and creating a simple, workable plan. Courtney draws from several evidence-based approaches to match the plan to each person. She commonly uses ideas from cognitive behavioral work to notice unhelpful thinking, narrative techniques to rethink personal stories, and person-centered methods to keep the client’s goals in focus.
Sessions move at a pace the client is comfortable with. Her background includes a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Carlow University and a decade of practice in school-based and outpatient settings. That experience has given her familiarity with anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting stress, and women’s mental health concerns.
In sessions she keeps language simple and practical. People can expect clear, actionable suggestions, space to talk through feelings, and a collaborative effort to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Remote session options are available for flexibility.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Many clients find cognitive behavioral techniques helpful for spotting thought patterns that increase anxiety or depression. CBT offers practical exercises and small behavior changes to test new ways of thinking and acting. Narrative approaches focus on the stories people tell about themselves and offer simple ways to rewrite those stories to reduce shame and increase agency.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Courtney will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they’ll pick methods to try and adjust those methods over time based on progress and comfort level.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can use less bandwidth, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share thoughts between appointments. These options aim to make consistency and scheduling easier for busy lives.
