About Courtney

Courtney Muzac is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical ways to make life feel more manageable. She blends straightforward talk, breathwork, and movement to address stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and parenting or family concerns. Sessions aim to help people stop hiding behind masks and start noticing their own needs.

Courtney is credentialed as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and also holds a CSW credential.

Background and approach

Over seven years of practice inform her step-by-step approach. Early work concentrates on recognizing painful feelings and naming what has been avoided. She offers grounding tools such as focused breathing and simple body-based exercises to reconnect thoughts and sensations.

As therapy continues, attention shifts to boundary setting and clearer communication. She helps clients practice saying what they need without shame or guilt. The process moves at each person’s pace, with repeated small steps toward lasting change.

Courtney uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and internal family systems, among others, to tailor sessions to individual goals. This means blending thought-focused exercises with awareness skills and work on inner parts when helpful. Sessions are offered from Georgia and conducted in English.

Her aim is to create a calmer everyday experience by helping people tend to inner wounds, practice self-compassion, and develop a more trusting relationship with themselves.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment through breathing and simple awareness exercises to help with stress and rumination. Internal Family Systems works with inner parts by noticing different voices or urges inside and helping them relate to one another more kindly; it can be useful for shame, self-criticism, and relational patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and pace. Sessions can mix approaches so that skills, awareness, and inner work happen together when that makes sense for the individual.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. These options allow people to practice skills in day-to-day settings, join from home, and fit sessions around parenting or work. The range of formats helps people access consistent support and try different ways of engaging to find what works best.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
