About Courtney

Courtney Cannon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with ten years of experience. She creates a calm, welcoming space where people can talk through what matters to them. Her style centers on trust and collaboration so clients feel heard and respected from the start.

Courtney believes people know their lives best, and she helps them clarify priorities and set achievable goals. Early sessions focus on identifying the most pressing concerns and building a practical plan that fits each person’s life.

Background and approach

She adapts the work to what each client needs rather than using a single approach for everyone. Her training includes a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Carlow University. Over her career she has worked in school-based counseling and outpatient settings supporting those facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and women’s mental health issues.

That background gives her experience with common parenting and life stressors. Courtney uses a mix of methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts, rewrite stressful life stories, and center the client’s experience. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on small, steady steps toward clearer routines, better communication, and less overwhelm.

She aims for practical strategies parents can use between sessions. People who reach out can expect straightforward language, patient listening, and goals set together. The work is direct but gentle, with emphasis on usable tools and real-life changes rather than jargon or long lectures.

How her approaches translate to online care

Courtney commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT uses practical exercises and skill-building to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily routines.

She also uses Narrative Therapy techniques to help clients reframe stressful life stories and separate themselves from limiting labels. This work supports people who feel stuck by offering new ways to describe their experiences and move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Courtney will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit the situation. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust focus as needs change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make scheduling easier for busy parents and allow follow-up between sessions. Video and phone let clients explain concerns in real time, while chat or text can be useful for brief check-ins and practice between meetings.
