Approaches Cortney Uses and Online Care Options

Cortney integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor therapy to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy, trust, and emotional regulation and can be helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, and healing from relational wounds. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a nonjudgmental stance, allowing clients to set the pace and priorities of their work while the therapist provides support and reflection to foster self-discovery. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cortney works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Cortney is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving demands, or geographical distance. These options make it easier to access regular support and maintain continuity of care while tailoring session formats to what works best for the individual.
