About Courtney

Courtney Krolikowski uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people navigate stressful life moments and family challenges. She describes a person-centered style where the client sets goals and she guides toward them. Courtney holds LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) credentials and brings eight years of counseling experience.

She works from Wisconsin and conducts sessions in English, including with some international clients. Her practical work focuses on areas like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and parenting.

Background and approach

She has experience addressing intimacy concerns, relationship strains, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also lists work related to bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and LGBT issues. Courtney trained with a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Benedictine University in Illinois.

Over her career she has provided individual therapy, couples counseling, and family therapy. Her background includes supporting survivors and perpetrators of domestic violence and clients involved in court-ordered anger management and parenting education. In sessions she focuses on what the client wants to accomplish and uses practical strategies to reach those goals.

She aims to offer clear steps and tools rather than abstract concepts. Parents and family members looking for a collaborative, goal-oriented approach may find her style straightforward and focused on real-life changes. She offers sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Courtney combines her training and hands-on experience to tailor work to each person’s needs and preferences.

Approaches that translate well to online family and parenting support

Evidence-based techniques are central to Courtney’s work and she draws on methods that fit well for remote sessions. Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral techniques help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors after difficult experiences, which can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Person-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients set the agenda while the therapist offers guidance and practical tools; this approach supports parents and family members who want clear goals and step-by-step plans.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review a person’s goals, concerns, and preferences, then recommend techniques that match those needs. If one method isn’t working, adjustments are made together to try other evidence-based options until a good fit is found.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling family responsibilities. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when needed, phone sessions remove the need for a webcam, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins and coaching between sessions. These options help people access consistent care without rearranging their whole schedule, which can be especially useful for parents and caregivers balancing many demands.
