About Courtney
Courtney Burrus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, and issues around guilt and shame. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, grief, ADHD, and challenges tied to family of origin and attachment.
Courtney uses practical, conversational methods in sessions. She listens for what feels stuck and helps people name how past experiences show up now. She often draws on Client-Centered work to follow the person’s pace and CBT to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Her approach also includes Solution-Focused techniques to set short-term goals and Internal Family Systems ideas to understand inner parts that argue or withdraw. Existential ideas help when people wrestle with meaning, values, or life transitions. These approaches are mixed in plain language during sessions.
People meet to talk through specific problems, work on communication, and practice different ways of responding to shame or guilt. Sessions include skill building, thought work, and exploring relationships with internal parts when that fits the issue. The therapist aims to make steps feel manageable and concrete.
Courtney practices from Texas and works in English. She does not accept international clients. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the site’s matching process.
How her approaches translate to online work
Courtney uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to each person and create space for them to talk through shame, grief, or relationship strain in their own words. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and responding to the person’s concerns rather than directing the conversation.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT provides concrete techniques for noticing automatic thoughts and testing different responses, which can be practiced between sessions to manage anxiety and depressive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Courtney will collaborate with the client to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress or new issues emerge. The client’s priorities guide how sessions are organized and which skills are emphasized.
Session formats and scheduling details are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking.

Therapists commonly use approaches that allow for homework, skill practice, and conversational check-ins to help integrate changes into day-to-day routines.
