About Courtney
Courtney Ramsey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with 12 years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. Courtney emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions.
She listens first, then helps clients set clear, realistic goals. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs rather than following a rigid plan. Her approach blends client-centered work with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness.
Background and approach
She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and build coping skills they can use day to day. For trauma concerns she can integrate trauma-focused methods as appropriate. Courtney also addresses issues like ADHD, parenting stress, grief, intimacy concerns, and work-related strain.
She supports people dealing with addiction, self-esteem struggles, and transitions in life. Additional focus areas include communication problems, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress. Sessions aim to be practical and manageable.
Courtney and each client decide together what to work on and how quickly to move. The emphasis is on small, achievable changes that add up over time. People who choose Courtney often want straightforward support and tools they can use between sessions.
She works to create a steady, compassionate space where clients can practice new ways of coping and relating.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Courtney combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness methods to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities, helping people feel heard and steering the pace of work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches straightforward skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and simple practices that reduce reactivity and boost emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Courtney works collaboratively with clients to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time and checks in regularly to make sure the work still feels useful and manageable.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between meetings.
