Courtney works with people who are coping with trauma, compassion fatigue, and a range of medical and caregiving challenges.

Courtney brings 10 years of experience in mental health to each session. She follows a client-centered approach that treats the person, not just the symptoms. In plain terms, she listens, reflects what she hears, and helps clients decide practical next steps that fit their life.

Her methods include cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, dialectical behavior strategies for emotional regulation, emotion-focused practices for relationship and connection work, and mindfulness tools to reduce stress. These approaches are used together to match the needs and goals of each person.

Courtney often helps people dealing with grief and end-of-life concerns, and she also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiving strain, and aging-related worries. She writes and speaks in straightforward language and focuses on clear skills people can use between sessions.

People who choose Courtney can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space. She emphasizes collaboration and steady problem-solving over quick fixes. If you are unsure where to start, she guides the first steps and helps shape a plan that feels manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and shifting thinking patterns that contribute to stress and anxiety; it often includes concrete exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and acting. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for mood instability and relationship struggles. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and help with stress and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first. That collaborative planning makes it easier to adjust strategies over time if they are not a good fit.

Session formats were not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut down on travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on a hectic day. They can also make it easier to continue care when someone is managing caregiving responsibilities, chronic illness, or limited mobility. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and focus so work moves forward in ways that fit everyday life.
