How her approaches translate to online therapy
Courtney integrates client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused methods. Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's experience, listening carefully and building goals together to guide each session. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-focused therapy aims to address how past events affect current behavior and to build coping tools for triggers and distress.Deciding on an approach is collaborative. Courtney will discuss goals, preferences, and current concerns and help choose methods that fit the person's situation. That collaborative planning can change over time based on what helps most.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice skills in their day-to-day settings. Talk with Courtney about scheduling and the format that best suits work and life demands.
