She holds LPMHC and LCPC credentials and brings six years of clinical experience to her work. Cortney describes her approach as coaching-oriented, aimed at building insight and practical skills.
Her sessions focus on everyday problems like communication breakdowns, guilt and shame, panic attacks, and the fallout of divorce or separation.

Cortney pays attention to blended family dynamics and supports parents and individuals navigating those changes.
Cortney aims to understand each person’s perspective and values before suggesting steps forward. She keeps work hands-on and skill-based, offering tools people can try between sessions. The tone in her room is respectful and straightforward.
People who prefer a collaborative, coaching-style therapist may find this approach useful for creating practical change. Cortney emphasizes meeting clients where they are and working toward realistic goals. Her language is direct and focused on what can be done next.
Background and approach: With six years of experience, Cortney blends supportive conversation with clear, actionable strategies. She often helps clients identify patterns in relationships and day-to-day life, then practices new skills in session. This can include improving communication, managing anxiety symptoms, or shifting patterns tied to shame and control. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Approaches that guide online work and skill-building
Two evidence-based approaches Cortney uses focus on building practical skills and understanding patterns in relationships. One approach centers on skill training for anxiety and stress management, teaching measurable techniques people can practice between sessions to reduce symptoms and increase coping. Another approach emphasizes examining communication and attachment patterns, helping clients notice how past relationships shape current interactions and try different ways of relating. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cortney treats therapy as a collaborative process where client goals, preferences, and life demands guide which methods are used. She will check in about what’s helping and adjust techniques as goals change. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce time spent traveling. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or conversations without being on camera if that feels better. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Overall, online work aims to bring practical tools into everyday life and keep momentum between sessions.Areas of expertise
