About Courtney
LICSW in Rhode Island with 10 years of experience, Courtney Threats helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and depression. She works with clients who identify as LGBT and addresses issues like attachment and abandonment. Courtney uses practical, talk-based work that focuses on the person's goals and strengths.
Courtney's approach centers on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She pays attention to immediate problems like communication breakdowns, substance use, impulsivity, and infidelity. Sessions typically involve discussing real situations, practicing new responses, and noticing unhelpful thinking patterns.
She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy and the Gottman Method when relationship skills or present-moment awareness are useful. That can mean learning simple breathing or attention exercises, or practicing communication techniques that reduce escalation. The emphasis is on concrete skills people can try between sessions.
Courtney describes clients as the experts on their own stories and treats their strengths as tools to address challenges. She aims for clear, direct conversation and practical steps rather than long theoretical explanations. This can be a good fit for someone who wants focused work on stress, mood, addiction, or relationship patterns.

How these approaches are used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide on actions that match their values. In remote work this often looks like identifying a value, setting small goals, and checking progress between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing and changing thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety or depression. Online sessions typically include structured exercises, thought records, and homework to practice new skills during the week. The Gottman Method offers concrete communication tools for relationship strain. When relevant, sessions may introduce turn-taking, softened startups, and problem-solving steps that partners can practice outside session time. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. That choice can shift as therapy progresses based on what the client finds most helpful. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Discussing practical needs at the first meeting helps ensure sessions fit everyday routines.Sheet 3
