More about Courtney

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC, LCPC

Hello, my name is Courtney but I go by CC.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Maryland and Virginia. I have been in the field for 8+ years working with clients in various fields including; crisis counseling, in-home therapy, family therapy, hospitalization, and foster care. In all those fields, I have primarily worked with clients who have suffered from depression, anxiety, mood disorders, conduct disorders, co-occurring disorders, personality disorders, family conflict, and many more. Those are big ways of saying that I have worked with a wide range of problems and a range of client populations.

I am an eclectic counselor who believes that every client is different and deserves a unique treatment plan that is created together. I will work diligently alongside you, creating a treatment plan that will help you reach your goals in counseling. I also deem confidentiality most important and will always protect your rights in our counseling relationship. Seeking out counseling can often feel scary and overwhelming and my goal is to help you feel comfortable, accepted, and cared for. Not only is it my job to help others, but it has been a passion engraved in me since I was a kid.

Other than confidentiality, i believe that listening to my clients makes the most difference. The last thing a hurting person needs is another person giving them advice. I focus on listening to my clients and hear their needs and wants. Once I have grasped the issues at hand, together we will work on bringing you to a healthier place where you feel peace. If you are wanting to be heard and understood than I am the counselor for you; so go ahead, take this next step with me and let's begin the journey of becoming the you that you want to be!

About online counseling

Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I love Courtney! I’ve never done therapy before so I was a little skeptical, but she is so helpful! I feel like I can tell her anything and she always responds the best way and has a plan to help me with my problems. I feel like she is really helping me overcome some issues I have! I just overall feel better being able to talk to her and message her whenever.

She is amazing. From day one she was chatting with me. My family visited and she reached out to me to make sure I was doing ok. She's made herself available on multiple days in multiple formats, and that has really helped a lot. She's been awesome so far.

Reviewed January 2020

I began working with Courtney during a time when I was very anxious, overwhelmed, stressed, and needing someone to help me work through the chaos in my mind. Courtney was so empathetic, understanding, and non-judgmental, and encouraged me to let go of things that were no longer serving me. Courtney always checked in to see how I was doing if I hadn't been messaging her and that meant a lot to me. I felt respected, heard, and validated. I would recommend her to anyone.

I "met" Courtney on here when I was dealing with bad anxiety on a consistent basis for the first time in my life and she has been an incredible help these last few months. Very understanding and helpful without criticizing or judging. I would definitely recommend her if you are new to this group and need help.

I met Courtney when I was at a pretty low place, feeling stuck trying to fix everything on my own. Since talking to her I've felt more confident and hopeful in my day to day life.
