Her style is steady and nonjudgmental, aimed at helping clients feel understood and able to try new strategies. The goal is more reliable coping and clearer choices in relationships and daily life.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Courtney often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in ways that translate well to online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely, reflecting what a person says, and helping them feel heard so they can discover their own answers. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.

She also draws on Internal Family Systems when helpful, which means noticing different parts of yourself and learning how those parts interact. That approach can make it easier to understand inner conflicts like shame, self-criticism, or fear of abandonment. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each person to figure out what fits their goals, needs, and preferences.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins or longer therapy blocks depending on what a person needs. The focus remains on practical tools and steady support to help people manage relationship concerns, stress, and emotional challenges.
