About Courtney
Courtney White is a New York Licensed Marriage, Family, and Child Therapist (LMFT) with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her background also includes helping clients who struggle with guilt and shame and other related concerns.
She began her work in upstate New York, spent time practicing in Las Vegas, and returned to New York in 2017 to focus on licensure and career development. Over the years she has supported people managing co-morbid conditions, including intellectual and cognitive disabilities alongside mood and substance concerns.
Courtney speaks plainly in session and prioritizes practical conversation. She adapts conversations and treatment plans to what each person needs. That can mean breaking things into small steps, focusing on coping strategies, or working through relationship patterns that keep someone stuck.
She also draws on her own experience of recovering from depression when it helps clients feel understood about setbacks and progress. She emphasizes respect and sensitivity in sessions and treats personal material with care. The emphasis is on steady, practical work rather than quick fixes.
To get started she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and practical coping skills. Cognitive-based approaches help people notice and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns that often feed guilt and shame, and they can be used to reduce anxiety and depressive thinking.Behavioral strategies focus on building small, repeatable actions such as activity scheduling, relaxation practices, and stepwise exposure to avoided situations. These methods help with motivation, low mood, and facing situations that trigger shame or avoidance.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That means checking in on what helps and changing course when something does not feel useful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel, and they can reduce time spent commuting. Phone or video sessions may be chosen for shorter check-ins, less bandwidth use, or to avoid being on camera, depending on what the client prefers.
