About Courtney
Courtney helps people who are working through motivation problems and life changes. She listens without judgment and encourages honest conversation about thoughts and feelings. Sessions are framed to help clients build confidence and practical coping strategies for hard moments.
Her background includes supporting people who identify as LGBTQ and those facing concerns around gender dysphoria. She also has experience with ADHD and intellectual disability as focus areas, and she works respectfully with topics such as sexuality, kink, and non-monogamous relationships when they come up.
In sessions, Courtney aims to create an open space where people can name what feels difficult and try small changes. She balances empathy with concrete suggestions so clients can practice new habits between meetings. The goal is steady progress rather than instant fixes.
Clients who choose her are asked to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to availability. The process is framed to fit into busy lives and to help people get a clear sense of next steps.

Step 3
How evidence-based techniques guide online work
Courtney uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps people can take. One common approach helps people learn skills to manage anxiety and stress through breathing, grounding, and stepwise behavior changes. Another approach emphasizes building confidence and motivation by breaking goals into small, doable tasks and tracking progress over time.Finding the best fit is collaborative. The therapist and client will look at symptoms, goals, and preferences to decide which techniques to try first. Adjustments happen as needed so the plan matches what’s working and what isn’t for the individual.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can tailor sessions so practical changes are practiced between meetings and real-life routines are considered.
