Courtney Dix , LCSW

Courtney Dix is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. She brings 11 years of practical experience and focuses on issues many women face, including body image, pregnancy and childbirth, and sexuality.

Courtney creates a calm space where people can speak openly about hard feelings. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and trying small, doable changes. She uses plain language and practical tools rather than clinical jargon.

Her approach blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness practices. That means the conversation is shaped around each person's goals while also identifying thoughts or habits that get in the way. Mindfulness skills are used to help manage strong emotions and reduce overwhelm.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing to help with emotional regulation and to support commitment to change. These strategies can be useful for panic, chronic worry, or getting through major life changes like divorce or financial stress.

Courtney works with people who want a collaborative, down-to-earth therapist. She encourages small steps, practices that fit daily life, and ongoing adjustments as goals change. Her Kentucky license is LCSW and she offers sessions in English to people located in the United States.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replace them with more helpful actions and responses; it is often used for anxiety, panic, and depression. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building trust so each person sets the pace and goals for their work. Dialectical behavior therapy offers concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and handling crises while building routines for daily coping.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they try methods that fit the person's life and adjust the plan as progress or needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule. Video lets people read facial cues and have a more traditional session, while phone can work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or when someone prefers typing instead of talking.
