About me

Hello! My name is Joni Courtney, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience in providing compassionate and effective therapy services to individuals of all ages. I create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where my clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to foster personal growth and healing. I believe the client is the expert of their experiences and I work alongside my clients to create goals and treatment plans that are unique to them.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we will start with brief introductions, then discuss the challenges you're facing. From there, we will work together to build goals and a plan that we will work through during our follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I believe therapy is a collaborative relationship designed to foster healing, self-awareness, and personal growth. I am intentional about active listening and thoughtful questioning. I love helping clients explore their inner experiences, identify patterns, and develop coping strategies. My therapeutic approach is tailored to each person’s unique needs, using techniques from various therapeutic models. I believe success lies in the balance of grace and accountability.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with individuals who are feeling like life isn't working and they are unsure what to do to get out of the pit. Together, we will explore the issues you are struggling with, identify the root causes of those issues and working towards true healing.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use CBT in my practice because it is a versatile approach to therapy. It assists my clients in challenging reoccurring thoughts and managing anxiety and/or depression. Together we’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. Then we will use that knowledge to change patterns of thinking, resulting in decreased symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Motivational Interviewing

I love Motivational Interviewing because it is a client-centered approach that can be especially effective for people who have mixed feelings about change. I am passionate about assisting clients find the motivation needed to make the changes necessary to improve their life.

Strength-Based

Strength-based therapy focuses on a client's internal strengths and resourcefulness. By assisting clients identify their best qualities, find their strengths, and improve resilience we can make lasting changes.

I came to Grow Therapy chose Joni Courtney because I was looking for someone authentic, that made me feel comfortable for who I am. My previous provider was no longer available through another platform, and I searched for a long time, but I think that she will be a very good person for the next steps of my journey. I was recently in group therapy for almost 3 months, and needed someone who can help me stay focused on recovery, and on my work at therapy and the office. Also, she loves plants!🪴🌿

From our very first session, Joni created a warm, safe, and completely non-judgmental environment. She has an incredible ability to listen deeply, untangle complex or overwhelming thoughts, and help you process them with real clarity. Joni keeps me motivated to do the work while making sure I feel supported every step of the way. I always leave our sessions feeling empowered, grounded, and genuinely excited for the progress ahead. I can’t recommend her enough!
