Approach-driven care delivered online
Dr. Courtney commonly blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR depending on needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes being heard and shaping goals around what matters to the person. It helps clarify priorities and motivates change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that interferes with daily life. EMDR is used for processing disturbing memories and trauma-related symptoms to reduce their emotional impact.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they choose methods and adjust the plan as progress and life circumstances change, so the work fits each person's needs.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation similar to office visits. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for shorter updates, coaching-style support, or check-ins during a busy day. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and medical schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
