Background and approach

She emphasizes calm, real-world steps rather than lengthy theory. Her approach combines client-centered care with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also shape how she helps clients change behaviors and think differently about problems.

These methods aim to make emotions easier to understand and respond to. Courtney has six years of experience as an LPC, practicing in Georgia. That time includes work with people facing complex emotional patterns such as attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, dissociation, and mood challenges.

She also addresses concerns tied to body image, blended family dynamics, and alternative sexual cultures like kink and BDSM. In sessions clients can expect a calm tone, practical skills training, and a focus on what matters most to them. The goal is clearer choices and stronger coping, delivered in a compassionate, nonjudgmental way.

How Courtney’s approaches work online

Courtney often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of daily life. She also draws from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and skills for handling intense reactions.

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 in the past. Together they decide which techniques to focus on and adapt those methods as progress is made, keeping the plan practical and collaborative.

Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is helpful for full conversations and skill practice, phone can be a lower-bandwidth alternative, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats to see what feels most effective.
