Online support

Approaches you can try online with Dr. Courtney

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding what matters most to the client and shaping sessions around those goals. It is conversational and supportive, and it helps people feel heard while they figure out their next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood. Through CBT, clients learn practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new routines that reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is mentioned in her practice and is often used for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity. When appropriate, she may integrate EMDR techniques alongside other approaches.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good choice if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, written processing, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules.
