Background and approach
She often helps people sort through parenting stress and the everyday friction that comes with family life. When trauma or past abuse is part of the story, she works at a pace the person finds comfortable and steady. The goal is better coping skills and a stronger sense of direction.
Courtney emphasizes collaboration. She listens, offers ideas, and helps people decide what feels useful. That can include new ways to handle conflict, routines that reduce overwhelm, or strategies to rebuild motivation and self worth.
She is licensed in Massachusetts as a LICSW, which stands for Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. Her work is straightforward and focused on real-life changes parents and individuals can try between sessions.

Approaches and how online sessions help
Evidence-based techniques used in her work include trauma-informed care and solutions-focused methods. Trauma-informed care means recognizing how past hurt affects current behavior and pacing work so people feel able to proceed; it is helpful for people recovering from abuse or painful experiences. Solutions-focused work centers on small, practical changes and clear next steps to reduce overwhelm and improve daily routines, which often helps with parenting stresses and communication issues.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your needs and goals, try methods that fit, and adjust as you go. Together you decide which techniques feel most helpful for your situation and what to try between sessions.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you keep nonverbal cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, shorter updates, or when you need a convenient way to share between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule and to keep continuity over time.
