Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions are used
Evidence-based techniques Cortney uses include conversational, skills-focused work that helps people notice patterns and practice new responses. This approach helps with anxiety, reactivity in relationships, and managing everyday stress by breaking problems into concrete steps.She also integrates coaching-oriented methods that emphasize goal-setting and actionable strategies. That style helps people with ADHD-related challenges and those who want clearer communication or better task follow-through by focusing on small, repeatable habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cortney works with clients to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts those methods as progress and challenges emerge. She treats decision-making about methods as collaborative rather than fixed.
