Over six years of clinical work inform her practical focus on skill-building and real-world problem solving. She aims to walk alongside clients as they try new strategies and make steady progress.

Approaches that guide online work
Courtney integrates client-centered work with practical behavior-focused techniques. Client-centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and making sure the goals reflect what matters most to the person. This style helps people feel heard and shapes the rest of the work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches straightforward tools for spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress tied to money or life changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. DBT-style skills can help with anger, emotional overwhelm, and communication problems.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients play an active role in shaping what the work looks like and which techniques are emphasized.
