About Courtney

Courtney Dunson, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), is a trauma-informed therapist who guides people worn down by past hurts toward reclaiming a clearer sense of self. She works with individuals who feel weighed by traumatic burdens and offers steady, grounded support as they explore the patterns and beliefs that have grown from those experiences.

Her practice emphasizes building stability in the nervous system before processing traumatic material, prioritizing resilience and emotional regulation as the foundation for deeper work. She helps clients develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, perfectionism, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and disordered eating while attending to attachment wounds that affect relationships and intimacy.

By creating a therapeutic space that moves slowly when needed and challenges unhelpful patterns when appropriate, she assists clients in navigating difficult terrain and discovering strengths that trauma narratives may have obscured. Courtney offers guidance and potential road maps for growth and healing for those ready to make changes or who realize life cannot continue as it has been lived. Her approach centers on helping clients find themselves again by building stability, resilience, and clearer pathways forward.

Attachment-Informed and CBT-Based Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotion, helping clients address abandonment, attachment wounds, and intimacy-related issues by exploring relational needs and building corrective experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, OCD, and perfectionism through skill-building and structured practice. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for intense mood swings, anger, and self-destructive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds to ensure the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and some work can continue through live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options helps clients fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals from wherever they are in Colorado or within the therapist's permitted service area.
