Kourteni aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.
Her approach centers on building a nonjudgmental space for honest conversation. She uses client-centered methods to listen and respond to what matters most to the individual.
How Kourteni works
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is also part of her toolkit to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. Kourteni works with concerns that include addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family problems, and questions around identity and LGBT issues. She also supports people facing parenting stress, career challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and struggles with life purpose.
Additional focus areas include abandonment, body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and isolation. Sessions are practical and grounded. Conversations aim to surface manageable steps and clearer thinking.
Progress is tracked in simple ways so people can see what changes help. Her practice includes several remote formats to fit different needs. Prospective clients who want to get started complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings to the room. The therapist creates space for people to share feelings and to feel heard, which helps clarify what change is wanted and possible.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by breaking problems into parts that can be worked on step by step.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Kourteni will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. The aim is to find what helps in daily life rather than sticking rigidly to one method.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging enable ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on useful change.
