About Courtney
Courtney Tibbetts is a licensed clinical psychologist in Louisiana with thirteen years of experience supporting people through anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and trauma. She focuses on helping individuals who want real, lasting change and practical ways to move forward. Her approach aims to empower people to set goals and reclaim a sense of agency in daily life.
She trained in psychology at East Carolina University and completed a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology at Marywood University in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Her work centers on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that address mood disorders, panic disorder and panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress. She offers both individual therapy and group formats and uses formal assessment and evaluation when helpful. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills, problem solving, and understanding patterns that keep problems stuck.
Courtney often helps people dealing with attachment wounds, caregiver stress, communication problems, and family of origin issues. She also supports women and young adults facing life transitions, isolation, or questions about purpose.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She aims to create clear steps clients can try between sessions and to track progress over time. People who prefer concrete tools and a goal-focused plan often find this approach useful.
How evidence-based methods work in online care
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear, practical steps you can try between sessions. Cognitive approaches help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety and panic, and teach skills for calming the body and shifting attention. Behavioral strategies break problems into small, doable actions that build confidence and reduce avoidance.Trauma-informed practices help people safely make sense of difficult past events and reduce their impact on daily life. These methods emphasize pacing, skill building, and gradually increasing tolerance for difficult memories or sensations rather than rushing through them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan over time. This means deciding together which techniques fit the issue, the person’s preferences, and how they want to measure progress.
Confirm current session options before booking to learn how sessions are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. It also makes it easier to maintain continuity after life changes, helping people keep momentum on skill practice and goal tracking.
