About Nanesha
Dr. Nanesha Courtney offers a client-centered approach that centers the person's needs and goals. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of experience. Her style is straightforward and practical, focused on helping people find strategies that fit their life.
She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain using clear, teachable tools. Sessions often include mindfulness exercises and cognitive techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. EMDR is also part of her approach for people coping with trauma and abuse.
Courtney draws on long experience supporting people through major life changes. She helps with career and work stress, parenting concerns, grief, intimacy issues, and caregiver strain. She also works with people facing illness, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the emotional fallout of disasters or loss.
Her work is collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients set practical goals and try small changes. Many sessions focus on building coping strategies, improving communication, and restoring daily routines that support emotional health.
Licensed in Washington, she offers services in English and works with adults and older teens. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
Her office message hours are Monday through Wednesday, 8 am to 4 pm, and she provides live video, phone, and chat sessions with timing that varies by day.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Dr. Courtney uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR in ways that translate well to remote sessions. Client-centered work means she focuses on what matters to the person and adapts the conversation to each client's pace and needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often paired with short exercises between sessions. EMDR addresses trauma by guiding the mind through structured processing sequences and can be offered remotely for some clients who find it helpful.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, test methods that seem useful, and adjust plans together so the work fits the client's needs and preferences.
Her practice notes that live video, phone, and chat sessions are provided with timing that varies by day, though people should confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so clients can use their energy on growth and coping strategies rather than logistics.
