About Courtney
Courtney Burrus is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She practices from Texas and uses straightforward, practical conversation to help clients find clearer footing. Her work often centers on parenting challenges and family-related stressors.
Courtney keeps sessions down to earth and aimed at what matters now for each person. She blends a few different approaches rather than relying on one method.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for example, looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Internal Family Systems helps people notice different parts of themselves and soften internal conflict. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes that add up quickly.
With 12 years of experience, Courtney draws on real-world tools alongside deeper reflection. She helps clients build better communication, cope with life changes, and address intimacy or attachment struggles. That includes work around grief, addiction concerns, body image, and parenting stress.
Courtney explains things plainly and sets collaborative goals. Sessions often include skills practice, reflection, and step-by-step problem solving. Her goal is to help people leave sessions with something they can try between meetings.
She holds Texas LPC 73468, which indicates licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. Sessions are available in English and offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To start, a simple matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Courtney commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Internal Family Systems in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Internal Family Systems helps people notice different parts of themselves, name them, and reduce internal conflict so decisions feel clearer.She aims to find the right mix of approaches together with each person. That means the therapist and client talk about goals and try methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences. Adjustments are normal, and the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. These formats let people check in from home or work, practice skills between meetings, and use the communication style that feels most comfortable. The range of options supports continuity of care and scheduling flexibility for people balancing family and other responsibilities.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
Existential Therapy
Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
