About Courtney

Courtney Strong-Gurr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona with ten years of clinical experience helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, address LGBT-related concerns, and heal from trauma and abuse. She emphasizes a collaborative, respectful approach that invites clients to explore their thoughts and feelings in a space free from judgment and shame.

Her work centers on empowering individuals to build resilience, clarify goals, and develop practical strategies for moving forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. It helps people understand attachment styles, repair relationship wounds, and build stronger emotional bonds with others. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and support to help clients clarify values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for changing behaviors and managing symptoms such as anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Courtney works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts treatment as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and effective for each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet with licensed professionals. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging, allowing therapy to fit into busy schedules, caregiving routines, or geographic limitations while maintaining continuity of care and regular contact with a therapist.
