Courtney Dix, LCSW

Approaches that guide online sessions

Courtney blends straightforward, action-oriented methods with listening and validation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. It is useful for panic, social anxiety, and daily stress by teaching concrete tools and new ways of thinking.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. Those techniques are often used when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone wants clearer ways to respond to parenting strain or relationship stress. Client-Centered Therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental foundation where the person's own goals lead the work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with the client to pick methods that match goals, comfort level, and pace. That collaborative planning may combine brief skill teaching, reflective conversation, and mindfulness practices based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow more face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to stay consistent with care.
