About Courtney
Courtney Dix is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and self-esteem struggles. Her approach aims to make beginning therapy easier for someone taking that first step.
She focuses on building a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can discuss thoughts and feelings openly. Sessions emphasize practical strategies for coping with life changes and reducing day-to-day overwhelm. Courtney uses clear, straightforward language to make ideas easy to act on.
How Courtney works
Courtney blends several approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on client-centered work to follow what the person notices as most important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help identify thinking patterns that worsen anxiety or low mood and then replace them with more helpful actions.
She also incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to teach skills for managing intense emotions and staying present. Motivational Interviewing may be used to strengthen commitment to change when someone feels stuck.
Over 11 years of practice, Courtney has worked with a range of concerns such as attachment issues, body image, divorce and separation, panic attacks, trauma, pregnancy and childbirth, and women's issues. Her style is supportive, practical, and focused on small steps that build confidence. People who prefer a direct, empathetic clinician will find her easy to talk with.
She aims to help clients leave sessions with at least one clear next step they can try between meetings.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person says matters most, helping people feel heard and guiding conversations toward their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling difficult interactions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals shift or new challenges appear.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video can be useful for face-to-face conversation and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels uncomfortable. Live chat and messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, brief reflections, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
