Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Support

Courtney incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps clients understand attachment styles and build healthier connections in relationships and with themselves.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance and prioritizes the client’s own goals. Through empathic listening and collaboration, this approach supports self-discovery and personal growth for a wide range of concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool in her practice, offering practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for addressing anxiety, stress, and many everyday challenges by teaching skills that can be applied between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Courtney works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time so therapy stays responsive and relevant.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and lets clients access consistent support from home or elsewhere. These options make it easier to maintain progress and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
