How Cortney's Approaches Work Online

Cortney blends attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral ideas to help clients change patterns and thoughts that cause pain. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build safer ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Cortney will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and life demands, then suggest methods to try. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so therapy stays practical and aligned with what the person wants to accomplish.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for a full-session conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a quick touchpoint helps maintain momentum. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the work consistent and focused.
