People seeking support for stress, career questions, grief, addictions, intimacy issues, parenting strain, ADHD, or compassion fatigue may find her background relevant. She helps people talk through challenges and build methods they can use between sessions.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Courtney uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a practical, goal-focused way. One common approach is trauma-focused work, which looks at how past events affect current feelings and teaches coping skills to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Another is problem-focused coaching-style work that breaks bigger goals into small steps and teaches concrete tools for stress, anger, or career decisions.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to figure out which method fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, let people check in more often, and make it simpler to schedule sessions around work or family responsibilities. If you need to know which session formats are offered, confirm the options before booking so you can pick what fits your routine.
