About Courtney

LCSW in Texas with 10 years of experience, licensed also in Arkansas and Tennessee. Courtney Porter focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She uses practical talking and goal-setting to help people manage difficult moments.

Courtney emphasizes clear conversation and small steps. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change thought-action patterns and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals.

Mindfulness techniques are introduced as simple exercises for grounding and managing intense feelings. Narrative Therapy is used to help people notice the stories they tell about themselves and see options to revise those stories. These methods are offered in plain language and practiced in session.

Courtney has a decade of clinical work across multiple state systems. That experience shapes a practical style that keeps sessions focused on what people want to change next. She asks direct questions and uses straightforward tools rather than abstract theory.

Starting work with her begins with describing the current problem and agreeing on a small first step. People who contact her complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing new behaviors. Online sessions using CBT often include structured exercises, worksheets, and between-session practice designed to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and simple breathing or grounding exercises to manage stress and strong emotions; these practices can be guided in a session and then rehearsed between meetings.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will review the person's goals and preferences and suggest which method to prioritize. Sessions may blend CBT, mindfulness, and narrative elements so the plan matches what the client needs and can use in everyday life.

Confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Discussing preferred session length and rhythm during the first meeting helps shape a practical plan that fits around work, caregiving, or school commitments.
