Approaches that guide online sessions
Courtney blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people find clear, practical change. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's values and goals so sessions feel personalized and respectful. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides tools to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce distress.Mindfulness practices are also used to improve present-moment awareness and reduce overwhelm. These techniques can help with anxiety, stress, and mood symptoms by teaching simple breathing and attention skills people can use throughout the day. Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the collaboration; Courtney will work with each person to figure out what fits their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet: video calls for full face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text messaging for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or school schedules and let people practice skills in real time between meetings.
