Courtney Threats , LICSW

Courtney Threats is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Rhode Island with 10 years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, and family conflicts, drawing on practical skills and a compassionate stance to help clients navigate challenging moments.

Courtney frames each person as the expert of their own story and seeks to build on existing strengths rather than impose a one-size-fits-all solution. Her work combines evidence-informed techniques with an emphasis on collaboration, so clients and therapist shape goals and strategies together.

Beginning therapy often takes courage, and Courtney acknowledges that step while offering steady, nonjudgmental support for the process of change. Her approach focuses on real-world coping strategies, improved communication, and restoring balance in relationships and daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) centers on helping clients clarify their values and take committed action toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that interfere with meaningful living.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client guides the pace and content of sessions. This approach helps strengthen self-understanding, confidence, and emotional processing in relationship and personal growth work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often effective for anxiety, depression, and developing concrete coping strategies for day-to-day challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Courtney will work collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting plans as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility and accessibility for busy schedules or limited mobility. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to offer consistent support, make it easier to maintain continuity of care, and provide multiple ways for clients to engage that match their comfort and lifestyle.
