About Courtney
Courtney Brooke Sergent-Fox is a licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and career challenges. She supports clients facing life changes, grief, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related concerns. Her tone is encouraging and down-to-earth, focused on small, practical steps clients can use day to day.
Courtney emphasizes that each person knows their story best. She looks for strengths a person already has and builds on them. Sessions are aimed at clear goals and workable strategies rather than long lists of labels or jargon.
Her background includes a decade of clinical experience as an LCSW, working in settings where people bring real-world problems like workplace strain and midlife shifts. That experience informs a pragmatic approach to therapy that focuses on what is useful right now.
In session she blends several methods to fit the individual. Techniques draw from cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused steps. EMDR is also listed among her approaches and may be offered when appropriate.
Courtney pays attention to practical barriers people face when seeking help, such as tight schedules and financial concerns. She supports clients in finding ways to make therapy fit into life, including short-term goal work and skills that can be used between sessions. Her style is collaborative, respectful, and oriented toward measurable progress.
How her approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors instead. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and workplace worries by breaking problems into manageable steps.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus. These tools can help with grief, compassion fatigue, and day-to-day stress by offering short exercises to use between sessions.
EMDR is listed among her approaches; it involves structured sets of focused attention and processing to address distressing memories or strong emotional reactions. It may be combined with other techniques when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Courtney’s work emphasizes fitting sessions into real life, such as using brief skill-focused meetings or planning homework that works around a busy schedule. Online therapy can make it easier to keep regular appointments and practice new skills between sessions, but check the current session options during sign-up.
