About Courtney
Dr. Courtney Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience. She encourages people to take practical steps toward change and meets them where they are.
Her approach begins with listening and setting clear, reachable goals together. She focuses on everyday problems that often feel overwhelming. Those include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges with intimacy and relationships.
She also addresses addiction, bipolar concerns, sleep and eating issues, anger, parenting strain, and self-esteem struggles.
Background and approach
Her work starts by building rapport and agreeing on what success looks like. Sessions emphasize skills for coping, relaxation, and managing worry. She aims to help people develop tools they can use after counseling ends.
Over a 15-year career in Michigan, she has supported adults facing a range of life changes. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Conversations are practical and goal-focused to make progress manageable.
Dr. Washington offers several remote session formats so people can fit counseling into busy lives. She encourages anyone curious about change to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment that fits their needs.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Dr. Washington uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and meet goals. One common approach emphasizes goal-setting and skill building to reduce worry and improve daily functioning; it breaks larger problems into small, manageable steps and teaches practical coping tools. Another frequently used method focuses on processing trauma and intense emotions through structured conversation and pacing, helping people make sense of painful events and reduce their impact on everyday life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses options, considers the person's needs and preferences, and adjusts methods over time to find what works best. Clients are invited to share feedback so the plan can change when needed.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins during the day, and text-based messaging can help maintain momentum between meetings. These formats provide flexibility to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
