About Courtney
Courtney Hoyman is a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) practicing in Maryland with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and ADHD. She also focuses on related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, and family problems.
She approaches sessions by treating the client as the expert on their own life. Conversations are straightforward and practical. Courtney listens for strengths people already use and helps build on those strategies to manage difficult moments.
Her background includes work in foster care and adoption services, behavioral health, and substance use settings. That experience informs how she talks about trauma, grief, and recovery from addictive behaviors. She has worked with people dealing with ADHD and the impact it has on daily functioning.
In the room she aims to make discussions clear and useful. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns, practicing coping skills, and setting small goals that fit daily life. She pays attention to how past experiences shape present actions and feelings.
People often come with concerns tied to relationships, identity, or long-standing regret. Courtney helps them talk through those issues in a way that is direct and respectful. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Courtney uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize clear skills and real-life practice. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior and trying small, practical changes. This helps with anxiety, depression, and managing addictive urges. Another approach centers on processing past hurt and trauma in manageable steps, helping people reduce the hold those memories have on current choices.Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. They then choose techniques and pace based on those conversations rather than assuming one method will fit everyone.
If you plan to work online, confirm the session formats before booking since none are specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
