About Courtney
Courtney Porter helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and brings ten years of professional experience to each session. Her approach centers on clear communication and practical skills that can be used between appointments.
She creates a calm space where clients can talk about painful feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps that build confidence over time.
How Courtney works
She encourages honest conversation about what feels hard and what already works for the client. Courtney uses practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people stay present and reduce worry.
Narrative techniques are used to reframe difficult stories from new perspectives. Her work balances short-term problem solving with deeper reflection. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set clear goals and track progress in a measurable way.
Clients leave with specific strategies they can use when stress or low mood returns. Courtney is licensed in Tennessee, Texas, and Arkansas as an LCSW. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and scheduling is done after a short matching questionnaire.

Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes simple exercises to practice between sessions and works well for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce ongoing worry and increase calm; these techniques can be guided in session and repeated at home.Courtney will work together with each person to find the best approach. She talks with clients about goals and preferences, then adapts methods like CBT or mindfulness to fit those goals. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on short-term problem solving or deeper story work using narrative techniques.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation and observing nonverbal cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, short updates, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
