Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Courtney frequently draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship and helps individuals explore their feelings, values, and goals in a supportive environment. This approach is often useful for people seeking greater self-understanding, improved self-esteem, or clearer direction in relationships.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is commonly applied to address anxiety, depression, stress, and related day-to-day challenges. Additionally, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for managing intense emotions and impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Courtney works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines listening with clinical judgment to tailor the plan over time.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These formats make it easier to connect with licensed professionals and therapists from different locations and to continue care in ways that fit daily life and comfort levels.
