About Courtney
Courtney Tibbetts is a Louisiana Psychologist (LA Psychologist 1463) with 13 years of clinical work. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her practice includes work on guilt and shame and related concerns adults often bring to therapy.
She trained in psychology from undergraduate through doctoral study, earning a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology after completing a one-year internship at the Federal Medical Center in Devens, Massachusetts. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in individual therapy and group settings. Her background includes assessment and formal evaluation as part of clinical work.
Courtney focuses on practical steps and clear goals in sessions. She talks through what people are facing, identifies patterns that keep problems going, and helps people try new ways of responding. Sessions are straightforward and aim to help clients move from problem-focused thinking to manageable next steps.
She has experience helping clients with attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, family of origin issues, isolation, life purpose questions, panic, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety. Women and young adults are among the client issues she notes working with, alongside mood disorders and relationship difficulties.
Her work draws on the clinical training she completed at Marywood University and prior internships. People looking for assessment, formal evaluation, or individual therapy can expect a clinician who combines diagnostic perspective with goal-oriented therapy.
Evidence-based approaches and online work
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and behavioral change. One approach emphasizes identifying patterns that maintain anxiety and mood problems, then testing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. This method can help with panic attacks, social anxiety, and mood disorders.Another approach involves careful assessment and structured interventions to address trauma and its effects. That work often includes stabilizing symptoms, building coping strategies, and addressing how past events influence present relationships and self-view. These methods aim to make difficult memories and reactions more manageable during day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, weigh what feels most practical, and adjust the plan based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Collaboration guides which techniques are tried and how they are used.
If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Many people find digital sessions help fit therapy into a busy schedule, make it easier to attend short check-ins, or avoid travel time. A clear conversation about format and scheduling happens when arranging the first appointment.
