Courtney Jones , LCMHC

Courtney Jones is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses substance concerns, ADHD, mood challenges, and issues common to women such as body image and postpartum depression.

Courtney believes clients are the experts on their own lives. She listens first, then helps people notice their strengths and options. Sessions aim to build practical skills and clearer choices rather than rely on jargon or long lectures.

Her approach blends evidence-based tools like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance work with a client-centered, respectful tone. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are used when helpful to increase focus and willingness to try new things.

Courtney often helps people break big problems into small steps. She works on everyday concerns such as managing anxiety in stressful moments, improving communication, addressing addictive patterns, and rebuilding self-worth after setbacks. She also supports parents and caregivers dealing with stress related to pregnancy, childbirth, and caregiving roles.

Expect a calm, direct style that emphasizes collaboration. Courtney helps people set clear goals and track small changes that add up over time. Her goal is to make therapy a practical part of daily life rather than a distant idea.

Online approaches that fit busy lives

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then committing to actions that match personal values. It helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, rumination, or life transitions find direction and steady progress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and coping with everyday stressors. Client-centered therapy creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's priorities guide each session and decisions about technique.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match goals, preferences, and the pace they want. That means trying ideas, seeing what helps, and adjusting as needed rather than locking into one model from the start.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone can fit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat suit short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and daily life.
