About Courtney
Courtney Hoyman is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience. She practices in Maryland and focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and ADHD. She speaks English and draws on years of work in behavioral health and substance abuse settings.
Her background includes work with foster care and adoption systems, and supporting people through caregiving strain, chronic illness, and relationship conflict. She frames clients as experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. That approach guides how she helps people make changes at a pace that fits them.
Courtney uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address patterns that cause distress. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying coping skills, and trying practical steps between meetings. The focus is on clear goals and small changes that add up over time.
She has experience with addiction-related concerns, grief and loss, attachment and abandonment issues, and communication problems. People who want straightforward, strength-focused support tend to do well in her approach. Courtney encourages honest conversation and collaborative planning to address each person’s priorities.

How evidence-based techniques work online
Courtney draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building skills and changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach involves breaking problems into manageable parts, teaching coping strategies, and practicing those skills between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Another approach she uses centers on addressing trauma-related symptoms by creating safety, grounding skills, and stepwise processing to lessen the hold of painful memories.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend techniques to try. The therapist and client adjust methods over time based on what is most helpful.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full session is not needed. They can also offer flexibility for people balancing caregiving, work, or medical needs while continuing regular therapy work.
