Courtney Lopez , LCSW, CSW

Courtney Lopez is an LCSW and licensed clinical social worker in Colorado who focuses on helping people navigate major life changes. She draws on nine years of practice to partner with clients facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and career concerns. Her style is down-to-earth and nonjudgmental.

Courtney helps people build practical skills for coping and feeling more able day to day. She uses mindfulness, attention to values, and concrete behavior changes to reduce overwhelm and improve routine functioning. Sessions often include goal setting and short exercises to try between meetings.

Attachment and relationship patterns are a frequent focus in her work. Courtney talks with clients about how early bonds shape current trust, communication, and commitment issues. She also addresses abandonment, codependency, and related patterns that make relationships feel unsafe or confusing.

She supports people dealing with grief, life transitions, and medical or caregiving stress. That includes losses from separation and divorce, challenges around cancer and caregiving strain, and the emptiness that can follow major change. Practical coping skills are paired with space to process feelings.

Courtney combines approaches such as acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, and client-centered listening. She works with concerns including ADHD, addictions, body image, and self-esteem by helping clients clarify values and try small, manageable steps toward change. Her aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and decision-making during life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current trust, communication, and closeness, and it can be useful for addressing abandonment, commitment issues, and codependency. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning, which is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may combine elements from different approaches so the plan matches what a client wants to change and what feels doable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports shorter reflections between meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy days and make regular follow-up more achievable.
