LPC, 5 years of experience
Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia. I received my Masters from Marist College in New York and have been practicing for 7 years. I help adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem work to create the life that aligns with each clients goals. I believe it's important to meet each client where they are at in their journey and develop a plan forward together.
During the first session, my main goal is to collect background information about your experience, life, and goals so we can make a plan of what areas to work on together.
I aim to hold sessions at the pace of each client. I really try to focus on real world scenarios and direct experiences in the clients life when teaching skills or exploring thoughts and emotions. I have found my clients have the most success when they are able to see how it is directly impacting them or a skill may look like in practice from their direct experience.
I love working with adults with anxiety and depression. My clients are eager to explore different areas of their life and actively bring up different areas they feel they need support . They are wanting to make changes and looking for a safe space to be able to be honest and vulnerable with themselves.
I have been trained in person centered therapy since I was in graduate school. I did my internship at a group foster care placement that really emphasized the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship to help provide a safe space. This is a core part of my practice, I believe it is important to meet every client where they are at in their journey and finding goals and skills that fit their life instead of trying to take a one size fits all approach.
During my post education residency l was trained and supervised with utilizing CBT. I have found that CBT skills mixed with person centered approach can help clients create long lasting change based on their goals.

Courtney listens and provides very good feedback and insight at appropriate points. She is very current on issues and provides not only good active work during sessions but recommendations for other resources outside of sessions. She is an excellent therapist.
