More about Courtney
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas with experience working with diverse populations in the arena of Mental Health. I worked with individuals with an array of concerns including multicultural issues, anxiety and depression struggles, family relationships, major life transitions, and stress management. I desire to help those that have experienced traumatic life events not allow it to define them.
I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is warm, inviting, and interactive. I believe that it is vital to meet the client where they are and that is accomplished by establishing a welcoming safe place. My therapy approach is a combination of solution-focused and cognitive-behavioral therapy with an emphasis on empowering clients to be the ruler of their life. I tailor sessions to each individual recognizing that every person is different.
Seeking therapy is the first step in healing and there is tremendous bravery in putting in efforts to begin the process. If you are ready to begin that journey, I am here to help support, guide, and empower you through every step!
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
