How Courtney works
She mixes listening with clear tools so clients leave with something to try between meetings. Her work draws on several approaches including cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, and client-centered listening. She uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing when they fit the goal.
Those methods help with mood, coping after loss, and navigating attachment or abandonment worries. Courtney has six years of clinical experience and holds an LPC license in Georgia. She often helps people who are wrestling with body image, codependency, commitment or control issues, and complex stress from caregiving or blended family situations.
Practical concerns like communication problems, dissociation, or disruptive mood symptoms are addressed with step-by-step strategies. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions and works with clients to build safer patterns. People meet by talk in a way that matches their needs.
The focus stays on clear goals, doable practices, and steady progress toward feeling more capable and connected.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online care
Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by giving clear exercises and homework to practice.Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills help with intense emotions, anger, relationship conflict, and problems with impulse control.
Courtney blends client-centered listening with these practical methods and works together with each person to find the best fit. She will ask about goals, day-to-day challenges, and what feels most useful, and then tailor techniques to match those needs.
Online therapy makes it easier to schedule regular sessions while juggling work, family, or school. Video calls allow a full conversation; phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide a brief way to touch base, track progress, or get steady support between appointments. These formats let people use therapy in ways that fit their routines and needs.
