About Courtney
Courtney Lopez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado with nine years of experience. She helps people working through grief, life adjustments, stress, and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing career changes, addiction struggles, and questions about self-esteem or parenting.
Her work centers on clear, practical steps rather than abstract theory. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and test new ways of responding. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current trust and closeness issues.
Sessions often focus on building coping skills and making manageable changes. That can mean learning ways to sit with difficult feelings, practicing communication skills, or setting boundaries that protect personal time. For people dealing with grief, she attends to both immediate loss and complicated or ongoing mourning.
Courtney pays attention to family dynamics, abandonment concerns, codependency, and commitment fears. She also works with people dealing with body image, dissociation, or the effects of medical issues such as cancer. ADHD, caregiver stress, and coping after separation are included among her areas of focus.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She aims to help clients clarify values, try small experiments in daily life, and track what changes. English-language sessions are offered in Colorado; international clients are not accepted.
How her approaches translate to online work
Courtney uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and choose actions based on personal values rather than feeling stuck. ACT is useful for guilt or shame that keeps someone avoiding important parts of life.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that fuel anxiety or self-blame and then test more helpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical for managing stress, mood, and relationship conflicts. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about trust, closeness, and abandonment concerns and how earlier bonds affect present relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals and preferences and help decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment-focused work, or a mix fits best. That decision can shift as progress is tracked and needs change.
