Background and approach
She encourages small, manageable changes and helps people practice new ways of coping. Many clients come for help with depression, grief, relationship strain, or problems with sleep and eating.

Courtney also draws on Client-Centered methods that prioritize the person’s goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when practical tools for thinking and behavior can ease symptoms. Courtney has worked across a range of concerns including parenting stress, caregiver burnout, substance use, and issues tied to identity such as gender dysphoria.

Online support
How attachment work and online sessions fit together
Courtney uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship experiences shape current patterns. That approach helps people understand why they react in certain ways and supports changes in how they relate to others. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her work and focuses on listening, following the client’s pace, and centering the person’s goals rather than imposing a plan.She combines those approaches with practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when it helps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Together these methods aim to build insight and teach concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood, or relationship strain. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with the client to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to keep work going between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, or other obligations.
