Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. It helps people address issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, and relationship conflicts by exploring relational history and building healthier ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage depressive symptoms, and change unhelpful coping patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration, giving clients space to explore values, self-esteem, and life transitions while guiding them to find their own solutions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Courtney works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and adjusts strategies as clients gain insight and skills.

Online therapy offers flexibility by enabling sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life changes. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support, meet clients where they are, and adapt the format to individual comfort and accessibility needs.
