Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Courtney Groce often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. ACT helps clients clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so clients feel heard and supported as they build self-esteem and explore personal concerns. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to shift them, which can help with mood symptoms and everyday stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself, and Courtney collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around daily life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from different locations while working toward real-world improvements in coping and relationships.
