She speaks plainly and offers steady support so clients can take realistic steps forward. Her work focuses on everyday problems and big life changes alike.
Her approach centers on listening first and working together to find useful tools. She uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves.
Background and approach
She also draws on Client-Centered methods to follow each person’s lead and make space for their priorities.

That looks like learning to notice thoughts, try new behaviors, and manage strong emotions in the moment.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with focus and grounding during stressful times. Sessions tend to be straightforward and task-focused when clients want quick skills. They can also be more reflective for people wanting to make deeper changes in their sense of identity or relationships.
Courtney pays attention to values and life goals when shaping a plan.

Online session options
How Narrative and Skills-Based Work Translate Online
Online sessions with Courtney often draw on Narrative Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. Narrative Therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and try out new, more helpful ways to describe their lives. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following a person’s priorities, offering empathetic listening, and shaping goals together rather than imposing a plan. She also sometimes uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to teach practical skills. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different actions to change mood and behavior. These approaches can be used together to address stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, low self-worth, and life transitions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process means plans can shift as needs change, and different methods can be tried until something fits. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a break. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, homework, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity during life changes.Common questions about this listing
