Courtney Brooke Sergent-Fox, LCSW - Therapist in Kentucky

About Courtney

Courtney Brooke Sergent-Fox is a licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky who focuses on family and parenting concerns among other day-to-day stressors. She greets people with plain language and steady support. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, aimed at helping someone sort through what feels overwhelming right now.

Courtney uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try small, practical changes. She also draws on EMDR when past events keep coming back and on solution-focused techniques to set clear next steps.

Background and approach

Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change and needs to explore what matters most. In sessions she pays attention to both immediate problems and the strengths a person already has. Conversations aim to be practical and goal-oriented, while leaving room for grief, confusion, or uncertainty.

The work often includes learning new ways to talk with others, manage worry, or make decisions about career and life transitions. Courtney has ten years of professional experience as an LCSW. She meets people where they are and helps shape a plan that fits their daily life and responsibilities.

Her approach is straightforward and respectful, focused on what will make real differences between sessions. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and needs. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and pricing varies with location and therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce stress and anxiety. It is practical and often focuses on skills you can use between sessions.

EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, is a method used when past events continue to cause distress. It involves guided processing to reduce the emotional intensity of difficult memories and can help with recurring distressing reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and comfort level, then choose or combine methods that make sense. This is a collaborative process and can shift as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and daily responsibilities and to keep momentum between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, guide processing, and plan concrete next steps that fit real life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
