Cortney invites questions about the process and emphasizes that therapy is the client’s time and investment. She encourages anyone curious about starting to reach out and learn more.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through clear steps and exercises. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems and gives concrete tools to practice between sessions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connection shapes current reactions. It can help when relationship dynamics or family of origin issues keep repeating and cause distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cortney will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs, adjusting plans as you go. This collaborative process helps decide whether cognitive techniques, attachment-focused conversations, mindfulness practice, or a mix feels most useful.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. It also allows continuity of care when life changes make in-person visits harder. Ask about format options and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
