About Courtney

Courtney Threats is a licensed independent clinical social worker with ten years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are worried about stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, trauma, depression, and LGBTQ concerns. She aims to make that first step feel doable and affirms the courage it takes to begin therapy.

Courtney believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths to the work. Sessions focus on building practical skills and drawing on what already helps. She uses straightforward conversation to map current struggles and set small, achievable goals.

Her approach mixes tools from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered listening. Mindfulness practices and relationship-focused methods are woven in when useful. These tools are used to address concerns like body image, codependency, substance use, and communication problems.

Courtney also supports people coping with abandonment, attachment wounds, blended family strain, and issues that follow trauma or infidelity. She helps clients notice patterns that keep problems repeating and then try new ways of responding. Sessions emphasize clear steps people can test between meetings.

Therapy with Courtney aims to be collaborative and practical. She helps people identify values, reduce unhelpful behaviors, and strengthen relationships. If you decide to start, she guides the scheduling and matching process so you can choose a path that fits your life.

How therapeutic approaches work in online care

Courtney uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what really matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and issues that feel stuck because it focuses on practical steps rather than only changing thoughts.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT gives concrete skills to test new ways of responding to triggers like stress, cravings, or relationship conflict. Client-centered therapy is used alongside these methods to keep sessions grounded in what the client wants to accomplish.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Courtney will work with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. She invites questions and feedback so the work fits the client's needs and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce commute time, and allow check-ins during work breaks or between responsibilities. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and behavioral practice at convenient moments. If you prefer in-person or a particular session format, check the available options when you schedule.
