About Courtney
Courtney Lawson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with 10 years of professional experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or struggling with relationship and family concerns. Her approach aims to be respectful, compassionate, and tailored to each person.
Courtney focuses on common life challenges like low self-esteem, social anxiety, and isolation. She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, control issues, and the fallout from divorce or separation.
How Courtney works
Pregnancy and childbirth concerns, post-traumatic stress, guilt and shame, and issues around forgiveness are also part of her work. Sessions are adapted to what each person needs. Courtney listens first, then helps set goals and practical steps to try between sessions.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person’s priorities guide the plan. Her style is straightforward and empathetic. She aims to create a space where people can talk through painful experiences and learn healthier ways of coping.
Short-term strategies and longer-term change both have a place depending on the situation. Courtney encourages people to recognize the courage it takes to begin therapy. She tailors conversations and plans to individual needs and adjusts the process as clients progress or their circumstances change.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Courtney uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach helps people learn skills to manage intense emotions and anxiety by teaching breathing, grounding, and behavior strategies that can be used during stress. Another approach concentrates on attachment and relationship patterns, helping people recognize repeated life patterns and try new ways of relating that reduce conflict and loneliness. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to your goals and preferences and explain different options. Then she and the client choose techniques to try, adjusting the plan based on what helps and what feels right. Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls let you maintain face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit short check-ins, quick coping tools, or times when a written conversation feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family life, or other routines while still working with licensed professionals.Start online instead of waiting
