Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand how attachment wounds influence intimacy, trust, and emotional responses, and supports rebuilding more secure connections in relationships and with oneself. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as a space for acceptance and empathy - the therapist follows the clientâs lead, offering validation and reflective listening to help people clarify values, goals, and internal strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and obsessive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Courtney works collaboratively with each client to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She prioritizes stabilizing the nervous system and building coping skills before moving into deeper trauma processing, so pace and technique are tailored to the individual.

Online therapy with Courtney is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life and allow clients to engage in therapy in settings that feel most accessible and workable for them.
