About Courtney

Courtney Lopez is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical support for people facing major life changes. She uses straightforward, non-judgmental care to help clients build coping skills for stress, anxiety, grief, and challenges around work and relationships. Courtney presents as calm and direct and aims to help people make daily choices that lead to better functioning and greater ease.

She draws on several well-established approaches, especially acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based ideas, and cognitive behavioral tools.

Background and approach

In sessions she helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, try small experiments, and practice new ways of responding. That could mean learning grounding and mindfulness skills, reworking self-critical thoughts, or mapping how values guide decisions. With nine years of experience and credentials as an LCSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and CSW, Courtney blends practical coaching with therapy skills.

She offers guidance around parenting and family concerns as part of her focus areas, along with addiction, ADHD, and self-esteem work. Conversations are paced to each person’s needs so change feels manageable. Courtney works with adults in Colorado and provides sessions in English.

Her approach is collaborative and task-oriented when needed, while remaining compassionate. Clients leave sessions with clear next steps and tools to use between appointments. Her goal is steady, sustainable improvement rather than quick fixes.

She helps people experiment with small changes, notice results, and build on what works over time.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Courtney frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce distress.

She also draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. This approach can help people understand emotional responses and build more supported ways of relating to others. In sessions she connects these methods to clear exercises clients can practice between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Courtney will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means adjusting strategies over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions use video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments. They also allow Courtney to use worksheets, short exercises, and coaching-style check-ins tailored to each person's progress.

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.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
