About Courtney
Courtney Sawyer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and LGBT concerns. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel steadier day to day.
Courtney helps clients talk through low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and major life changes. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can name what’s hard and try small changes. Sessions often focus on coping skills and clear next steps that people can use between meetings.
How Courtney works
She also supports people navigating gender dysphoria, sexual identity questions, and nontraditional relationship styles. That includes work around jealousy, polyamory or non-monogamous arrangements, and alternative sex culture topics such as BDSM and kink. Courtney approaches these issues with practical problem solving and respect for each person’s values.
For clients who are neurodiverse or have intellectual disability, she adapts her communication and pacing. She can help young adults and women facing transitions, and she works on building self-love and forgiveness when those subjects come up. Her style is down-to-earth and focused on what a person needs in their life.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time. Courtney uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to meet clients where they are.

How evidence-based techniques work online
Courtney uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-life changes and coping skills. One common approach helps people learn practical skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing techniques, planning, and breaking problems into steps. These tools are useful for everyday worries and sudden stressful events.Another approach emphasizes building confidence and self-esteem through gradual practice and goal-setting. Sessions may include short behavioral experiments or structured exercises to test new ways of responding and to track small wins over time. This can help with motivation, self-love, and forgiving oneself for past mistakes.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods fit their needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let therapists see body language and hold longer conversations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins or shorter updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, busy days, or periods of limited mobility.
