How Courtney works
Motivational techniques are used when people are ready to make changes around substance use or other habits. Courtney has worked extensively with issues related to sexual abuse and trauma. She combines trauma-focused practices with cognitive-behavioral tools to reduce overwhelming symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
She also supports people facing caregiving stress, compassion fatigue, and the emotional fallout of family separation and adoption histories. People come for help with intimacy, body image, guilt and shame, anger, and self-esteem. She supports those working through pregnancy and childbirth transitions, grief, and career doubts.
Therapy blends practical strategies with steady, nonjudgmental listening. Courtney holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree in social work and practices as an Ohio LISW. Sessions are delivered using a range of formats to fit different needs and rhythms.
She aims to help people feel more in control and more hopeful about next steps.

Online support options
How CBT and Trauma-Focused Work Translate Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence. It teaches practical strategies for changing thought patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and helps build readiness to tackle issues like drug or alcohol use; it uses open questions and reflective listening to strengthen motivation.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they try methods that match the client’s needs and adjust the plan if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when bandwidth is available. Phone sessions work well when a camera isn’t needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone needs support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain steady progress.
