LCSW, 7 years of experience
Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida but I am also licensed to provide therapy for clients located in Georgia. I received my Masters degree from Saint Leo University and have been practicing for 7 years. I help adults struggling with trauma, stress, and feelings of overwhelm. My therapy style draws upon Attachment Theory and cognitive behavioral principles.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. In addition to learning about the challenges, I will also explain the therapy process, including the limits of confidentiality and any administrative details that may be relevant to your specific needs.
As a trauma-informed clinician, I specializes in the treatment of trauma related disorders. I provide therapy for a variety of issues including trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression, and anxiety. I match well with those who prefer a more structured, directive, and solution-focused approach.
I love working with adults who are struggling to process past and present stressful or traumatic experiences. My goal is to help individuals uncover new perspectives and develop skills that will enhance their well-being and understanding, while bridging the gap between their past and present experiences.

After my first session, I feel like I was able to freely talk and be heard. I did not feel judged or pressured. I was very nervous going into the session, because this is my first time doing therapy. I feel a sense of excitement (weirdly) to work on myself and be a better version of me while having sessions with Mrs. Williams.

I was referred to Courtney from a fellow colleague and I am so grateful for the recommendation. She has been a blessing in taking my past traumas and identifying how it has caused me to have certain patterns and feelings throughout my life and in my relationships. She is helping me process those feelings and emotions. She provides homework each week which has been helpful in identifying areas that should be addressed. I look forward to this process and seeing her at every appointment.

I felt comfortable to express vulnerability. She showed compassion and understanding. Her knowledge empowers me.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely utilized approach in therapy practice that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is grounded in the idea that our thoughts influence our emotions and actions, and that changing negative thought patterns can lead to improved emotional well-being. In my therapy practice, CBT is typically implemented through structured sessions where clients work with me to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach used to treat individuals experiencing distress as a result of past traumatic events. In therapy practice, EMDR aims to help individuals process traumatic memories and associated negative beliefs, emotions, and physical sensations.
