About Courtney
Courtney Hendrickson is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker with eight years of therapy experience and over 20 years in social work. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She often guides teens and young adults who are finding their voice and direction.
Courtney emphasizes practical steps and steady support rather than quick fixes. She believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths to healing.
Background and approach
In sessions she helps clients name those strengths and use them to move past difficult moments. Change often feels scary, and she aims to be a steady partner during that process. Her style is collaborative - she works alongside clients rather than directing them.
Courtney has experience using the High-Fidelity Wraparound model, a team-based approach that helps people set goals and brings others together to support them. She is certified in HFW and also trains others in the model. That work informs how she helps parents and children build shared plans and practical steps toward family goals.
Over her career she has received recognition for work with young people and survivors of domestic and teen violence, including a Cooperman-Bogue Award and a leadership award from a county task force. Those experiences shaped her focus on safety, resilience, and clear next steps. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented.
She helps clients break challenges into manageable tasks and practices new ways of handling stress, relationships, and trauma symptoms. The emphasis is on steady progress and realistic tools families can use day to day.
Approaches that guide online family and youth work
HFW - High-Fidelity Wraparound is a team-based approach that helps people set clear goals and pulls family members and supports into a shared plan. It focuses on practical tasks and coordination to reach those goals, which can be helpful for families and teens working toward change.Trauma-informed care centers on understanding how past harm affects current feelings and behaviors. This approach emphasizes safety, pacing, and building coping skills to reduce distress and help people manage triggers.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a client’s needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These choices allow sessions to fit around school, work, and family schedules and make it easier for caregivers and teens to join when needed. The variety of formats also lets clients pick what feels most comfortable for sharing and practicing new skills.
