Background and approach

She also addresses guilt, shame, loneliness, life purpose, and issues related to narcissistic dynamics and post-traumatic stress. Her work emphasizes collaboration.
She listens first, then helps shape goals and strategies that feel doable. That may include learning new ways to manage worry, setting limits, improving day-to-day routines, or building confidence. Courtney is licensed in Wisconsin as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor.
She provides care in English and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. If someone wants to begin, they complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Courtney uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and rebuild routines. One common approach focuses on teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety and handle stress, such as breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure to feared situations. These techniques help people feel more in control of daily reactions.Another frequent focus is trauma-informed care, which involves careful pacing, stabilizing strategies, and ways to process difficult memories when a person is ready. This approach aims to reduce the hold of past experiences and support safer emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Courtney listens to your concerns, discusses options, and tailors methods to your goals and preferences. Together you decide which techniques to try and adjust them over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or health needs. Video calls let you see facial cues and maintain a therapy rhythm, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer no video, and live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when writing helps express feelings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping care consistent.
