How her approaches translate to online work
Cortney often draws on client-centered therapy, which means she focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. That approach helps people name what matters most and feel supported while they set goals or bring up difficult topics.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This perspective can help when people are struggling with closeness, communication, or recurring relationship conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to teach concrete skills for managing mood, anxiety, and impulsive reactions by changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cortney will work with each person to match methods to their needs and preferences, adjusting over time as goals shift. The focus is on practical steps that fit the person’s life rather than a fixed protocol.
