How Cortney’s Approaches Translate Online

Cortney often uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people slow down and notice thoughts and body sensations. Mindfulness skills can reduce reactivity and help with anxiety, mood swings, and stress by teaching short ways to regulate attention and breathing.

She also incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centered ideas. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people find new ways to connect and feel safe with others. Client-centered methods mean the therapist follows a person’s lead, listens without judgment, and focuses on what the client says matters most.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Cortney will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust what she uses based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which tools and exercises fit day-to-day life.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping therapy consistent during life changes. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to check in during a break, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter conversation when needed.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
