About Courtney
Courtney White is a licensed Marriage, Family, and Child Therapist (LMFT) based in New York. She brings ten years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or low mood.
Courtney's background includes practice in upstate New York, several years in Las Vegas, and a return to New York in 2017 to focus on her license and clinical work. That range of settings shaped a practical, down-to-earth style. She talks plainly and adapts sessions to fit each person's situation.
She helps people manage anxiety and stress, work through relationship struggles, and cope with symptoms of depression. Courtney has experience supporting people who live with co-morbid conditions, including intellectual or cognitive disabilities, and those dealing with addiction, feelings of emptiness, or shame and guilt.
Courtney speaks from both professional and personal experience with depression, and she uses that perspective to offer encouragement without judgement. She emphasizes respect and compassion and aims to build realistic plans that people can try between sessions.
In the first meetings she focuses on understanding what matters most to the person and crafting a simple, tailored plan. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's comfort level. She invites people to take that first step and will meet them where they are during the process.
Therapeutic methods and how they fit into online care
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical strategies and skills people can use to reduce anxiety and manage mood. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them with small behavioral experiments; this teaches new ways of responding to anxious feelings and can reduce the intensity of panic or worry. Another approach concentrates on building emotion regulation and grounding skills to manage overwhelming feelings coming from trauma or dissociation; these tools aim to increase tolerance for distress and improve day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review symptoms, goals, and personal preferences together and try approaches that fit the person's needs. Adjustments are made along the way so the plan remains practical and relevant to daily life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking.
