About Courtney
Courtney White is a licensed marriage, family, and child therapist (LMFT) practicing in New York. She brings ten years of clinical experience and a direct, down-to-earth style to sessions. She speaks English and focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma, and self-esteem.
Courtney has worked in a variety of settings since starting her career in upstate New York, including time living and practicing elsewhere before returning to New York in 2017. That range of experience includes supporting people who face co-morbid challenges such as intellectual or cognitive disability alongside mood or substance concerns. She also draws on personal experience recovering from depression when she talks with people about hope and progress.
Her approach is practical and person-centered. She listens first, then helps people set small, manageable steps toward clearer thinking and steadier mood. Sessions focus on real-life problems like relationship conflict, motivation, body image concerns, substance use, and feelings of emptiness or guilt.
Courtney emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a collaborative planning process. She says she will meet people where they are and tailor conversations and plans to individual needs and goals. Her style aims to be kind, straightforward, and supportive while helping people build skills to cope with day-to-day pressures.

Evidence-based techniques and how they translate online
Courtney uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage mood, anxiety, and relationship stress. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills for calmer responses; this helps with anxiety, low mood, and decision making. Another approach emphasizes step-by-step behavioral changes and coping strategies to address depression, motivation problems, and addiction-related challenges. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Courtney will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and day-to-day life. She emphasizes trying straightforward steps, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress is made.
