Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy

Courtney draws on client-centered therapy to create a welcoming, collaborative space where the person’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and support for personal growth, which can be helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reshape unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often effective for managing stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms by teaching practical skills and strategies for coping.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is another tool she employs for improving emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and patterns of impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Courtney works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals tailor treatment over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy life or to connect from different locations. These options support continuity of care and allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that feel most manageable and accessible.
