About Courtney

Courtney Groce is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and parenting concerns. She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to address day-to-day struggles.

Her work aims to help clients feel more able to cope and make changes that matter. Courtney blends several evidence-based methods to match what a person needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Background and approach

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients notice difficult feelings while taking steps that match their values. Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions around each person's priorities, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what they hear. She also draws on elements of the Gottman Method when relationship skills and communication are part of the work.

That approach focuses on clear, practical skills for talking and resolving conflict. Sessions often include role plays, skill practice, and small homework tasks to build new habits. Courtney works with a wide range of concerns listed under family and parenting, plus related issues such as grief, trauma, and ADHD.

Her style is calm, direct, and warm. She aims to make sessions feel like a steady place to figure things out. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled according to therapist availability.

Courtney holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making changes that matter in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve mood. That approach is practical and often includes clear exercises to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist uses a collaborative process to figure out which methods match a person's goals, preferences, and current struggles. Sessions evolve based on what helps most, and clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can shift when needed.

Online therapy offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine and to continue support after a life change or while traveling. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver skill practice, guided conversations, and short check-ins that keep momentum between longer sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
