About Courtney
Courtney Mayfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship strain, trauma, and grief. She speaks plain language and focuses on practical steps that fit daily life. Courtney uses a compassionate, client-centered approach.
She listens first to what matters most and then helps people choose strategies that fit their values and routines. Sessions aim for clear goals and steady progress rather than long, vague talks.
How Courtney works
Her methods include cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses mindfulness practices to reduce intense reactions and build self-awareness. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants to find reason and momentum to change.
Courtney has particular focus on issues that often follow big life shifts, such as adoption or foster care questions, blended family dynamics, postpartum changes, caregiver stress, and separation or divorce. She helps people manage mood disorders, ADHD-related challenges, obsessions and compulsions, and the emotional fallout of trauma and abuse.
In sessions she works on concrete skills - communication habits, boundaries, impulse control, and coping plans for hard days. She also supports people who want to explore life purpose, forgiveness, or healing from guilt and shame. The goal is steady, usable change that fits each person's life.

Online support options
Approach and online options for everyday challenges
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and decide their own goals while the therapist offers empathy and guidance.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, and managing mood-related symptoms.
Mindfulness therapy trains attention and calm through simple practices. It can reduce reactivity, help when emotions feel overwhelming, and support steadying routines after stressful events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let you read facial cues and have fuller conversations. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, short reflections between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking.
These formats aim to make consistent therapy more practical for busy lives and transitions, while keeping the focus on useful skills and steady progress.
