About Courtney
Courtney Dunson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, and problems like OCD or disordered eating. Her approach aims to help people feel steadier and more like themselves again.
Courtney focuses on safety and stability before examining painful memories. She works at a pace the person can tolerate and helps build emotional and nervous system resilience first.
How Courtney works
That way a person has more tools when they begin to look at past hurts. Her sessions blend practical skill building with space to make meaning of difficult experiences. She uses gentle, collaborative methods that emphasize the client’s perspective and goals.
Therapy may include learning coping skills, practicing emotion regulation, and addressing patterns tied to attachment and relationships. Courtney brings seven years of clinical experience to sessions. She draws from approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and motivational interviewing.
These are used to match the work to each person’s needs. People who come to Courtney often want concrete tools and steady support while they change how they relate to themselves and others. She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging so therapy can fit different schedules and situations.

Online support options
Approach-informed care offered online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current trust and closeness. In practice it helps people notice patterns in relationships and try new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy centers the persons own perspective; the therapist listens deeply, reflects what is said, and helps people find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep a problem going, teaching practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will explore goals, history, and preferences together and pick methods that fit the persons needs. That plan can change as progress is made and new priorities appear; the process is collaborative and flexible.
Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates or practice skills between sessions. These options help therapy fit work, family, and travel schedules while keeping focus on the same therapeutic goals as in-person care.
