Courtney Burrus , LPC

Courtney Burrus is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas who focuses on practical, person-centered therapy. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and issues tied to trauma and addiction. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at small changes that make daily life easier.

She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Solution-focused ideas are used to set short-term goals and make quick, useful shifts. Internal Family Systems helps when parts of a person feel stuck or at odds with each other.

Courtney pays special attention to concerns often named by women, such as body image, intimacy, parenting strain, and family-of-origin issues. She also addresses eating and substance concerns, chronic illness or pain, and the stress of life transitions. Sessions look at what is happening now and what practical steps can move a person forward.

People meet her for help with communication problems, attachment and abandonment worries, coping with grief, or rebuilding after separation. She combines listening with concrete tools so people can try new patterns between sessions. Over 12 years of practice in Texas shape how she tailors support to each person’s life and goals.

Her work is collaborative: she and the client decide which methods to use and adjust them as needed. Courtney offers video, phone, chat, and text-based formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person first. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps build self-awareness and confidence. This works well for people coping with low self-esteem, grief, or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple experiments and practice to test unhelpful thoughts and try new responses, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, achievable goals so people notice progress quickly and gain momentum.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they try methods, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needed to match the client's needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone calls can fit a busy schedule and require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, quick coping tools, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
