Online support options
How these approaches shape online work
Courtney commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online practice. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed steps that match those values, which helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about priorities. CBT targets patterns of thinking and behavior, offering concrete exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and change habits that cause harm.She treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. Early sessions are used to understand goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. The therapist and client regularly check how the work is going and adjust methods as needed so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online formats offer flexible ways to keep therapy consistent. Video calls allow a face-to-face feel for in-depth conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or momentary coping across the week. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while maintaining steady progress.
