How Cortney’s approaches work in online sessions
Cortney often uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in relationships and to build more stable connections. This approach focuses on how early bonds shape current reactions and helps people notice and change interaction patterns.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT techniques in sessions include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cortney will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals and daily life. She adapts tools over time based on what is helpful and what the client prefers.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy parenting and work schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can work for quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options provide flexibility so people can keep progress going even with a packed calendar.
