Courtney Jones

Courtney Jones is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 15 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She approaches work with a straightforward belief: each person knows their story and has strengths to build on.

Courtney aims to make the first steps feel manageable. She offers a calm, encouraging presence and helps clients identify small, doable actions. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on skills that can be used between meetings.

Her work covers a range of concerns including attention challenges, addictive behaviors, mood differences, and relationship strain. She also addresses body image, caregiver stress, postpartum and pregnancy-related mood concerns, and grief. Courtney helps people clarify values, reduce unhelpful patterns, and set realistic goals.

Therapy draws on several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and client-centered listening. Motivational interviewing and narrative techniques also shape the work when change feels difficult.

Courtney frames therapy as a partnership. She focuses on small changes that add up, on rebuilding confidence, and on practical ways to cope with life’s demands. People who want clear, steady support while they try new ways of handling old problems may find her style useful.

How specific approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and to take small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and homework to change mood and behavior. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and some patterns of avoidance. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and understood; the therapist offers reflective listening and warmth to help people make sense of their own choices and build confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss which methods match a person’s goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative, so plans can change as needs become clearer and small goals are met.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue steady support during life transitions and when scheduling around work or caregiving is important.
