Courtney Cannon , LPC

Courtney Cannon is a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of clinical experience. She creates a calm, welcoming space where people can feel heard and begin to make changes. Courtney focuses on practical steps people can take to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and handle parenting challenges. She believes the person in the room knows their life best and works together with clients to set clear goals. Early sessions focus on identifying priority concerns and building a simple, realistic plan. Techniques are chosen to match each person's needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all method. Courtney draws on a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral ideas, narrative practices, and person-centered principles. That mix helps clients reframe negative thoughts, rewrite difficult stories from the past, and build on their strengths. She also has experience supporting people through pregnancy, postpartum concerns, and women's mental health issues. Her background includes work in school-based counseling and outpatient settings for substance use, which shaped her skills with young adults and adults facing emotional and behavioral concerns. Courtney uses approachable language and steady guidance during sessions. People who choose her often want straightforward help for anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, or life transitions. She supports people as they clarify values, improve communication, and rebuild self-compassion. Sessions emphasize small, achievable steps toward better day-to-day functioning.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Two approaches Courtney commonly uses are cognitive behavioral techniques and narrative-based work. Cognitive behavioral ideas focus on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Narrative-based work helps people rewrite painful stories from the past so they feel less defined by those events.

She also incorporates person-centered principles that prioritize listening, empathy, and collaboration. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work she does with each person. She will help clients decide what feels most useful based on goals, needs, and personal style.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling busy days. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide bite-sized ways to stay connected between sessions and to work through feelings in writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while still working with a licensed professional.
