About Courtney
Courtney Dix is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, depression, and coping with life changes. She lists guilt and shame among her focus areas and includes attachment issues and forgiveness in her practice.
Courtney keeps sessions straightforward and person-centered. She listens without jump to quick fixes and helps people name what they are feeling. Conversations often focus on what comes next rather than rehashing every detail of the past.
Her approach draws on practical methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice thought patterns and try different behaviors. These methods are used to address panic, social anxiety, and problems tied to body image or relationships.
Courtney often helps people sort through emotions after separation, around pregnancy and childbirth, or when financial stress and life purpose feel overwhelming. Work can include reframing unhelpful thoughts, building steady daily routines, and practicing small skills for calmer moments. She encourages honest discussion about guilt and shame so those feelings can be understood and managed.
Sessions aim to be practical and respectful of each person’s pace. The first meeting typically focuses on what matters most now and on setting a clear next step to try between sessions.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy is a simple starting place online. It centers on the person's concerns and priorities, with the therapist asking questions and reflecting what is said so clients feel heard and understood. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort through guilt, shame, or parenting worries.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. Online CBT can guide people to change small thinking patterns and try different behaviors between meetings, which is useful for anxiety, panic, and low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping. Online work with DBT techniques can include practicing grounding, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal responses when shame or anger spikes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help decide which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person is comfortable trying.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Different formats can also help when lower bandwidth or a shorter meeting is preferable, so check which session types are offered and choose what matches your routine.
