Integrative Approaches for Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s perspective, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the individual’s lead and helps clarify goals and values. This approach is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and navigating life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping strategies that can be practiced between sessions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to the specific impacts of traumatic experiences, combining stabilization, skills-building, and gradual processing as appropriate. It supports people working through trauma-related symptoms and concerns at a pace that fits their needs.

Determining the right approach is part of the collaborative work. Courtney will partner with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapt techniques from these approaches to form a tailored plan. That collaborative process helps identify which methods feel most effective and comfortable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging can fit varied schedules and life demands. For many people, these options make it easier to maintain regular appointments, practice new skills between sessions, and access support from wherever they are. Licensed professionals and therapists use these modalities to provide consistent, ongoing care that fits each person’s routine.
