About Courtney
She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are shaped to fit what the individual needs, and Courtney aims to tailor conversation and plans so they feel useful and realistic. She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and affirms that first step.
With 12 years of clinical experience and licenses as an LCMHC and an LMHC in North Carolina and New York, Courtney draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She focuses on practical ways to manage symptoms, improve communication, and rebuild confidence.
She also addresses more specific concerns such as abandonment issues, attachment struggles, body image, blended family stress, caregiving burden, chronic illness, and kink- and BDSM-related topics. Courtney helps people untangle patterns like codependency, control issues, commitment doubts, and coping after disaster.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. People can expect a mix of listening, skills practice, and planning between sessions. The goal is everyday steps that help someone feel steadier, clearer, and more able to handle what comes next.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used include practical skill-building for anxiety and mood management. This approach teaches breathing and grounding exercises, activity pacing, and thought-checking so someone can reduce overwhelm and stabilize daily routines. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep trouble.Attachment-informed work focuses on patterns in relationships and emotional responses. It helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships, work through abandonment or trust concerns, and try new ways of communicating and connecting.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan if something isn’t working.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or between commitments. For some people, phone sessions can be a shorter, lower-bandwidth option, while video lets the therapist observe nonverbal cues. Discussing these practical needs early helps shape a plan that works with everyday routines.
