Courtney Willis, LPC

Courtney Willis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people handle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or family conflicts. Her approach is warm and respectful, focused on clear goals and steady progress.

Courtney draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. Sessions are conversational and task-focused, with steps people can try between meetings. She adapts the pace to each person's needs and priorities.

Her experience spans eight years working with concerns such as trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. She works with people who are facing life changes and those looking for coaching-style support alongside therapy. Courtney emphasizes practical strategies that fit daily life.

Courtney aims to make the first steps manageable. She listens without judgment and helps set small, achievable goals. People often leave sessions with one or two clear actions they can try before the next meeting.

She asks clients to be part of planning their work together. That collaborative approach helps tailor strategies to real-world routines and responsibilities. The result is a steady, realistic path toward feeling better and handling challenges more effectively.

Remote CBT and Skills-Based Therapy Options

Courtney uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT focuses on practical exercises and clear steps that can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for handling strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and managing intense relationship moments.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Courtney will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether CBT, DBT skills, or a mix of both makes the most sense for the situation and adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy offers several ways to connect. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation and practice skills together. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, coaching-style guidance, and ongoing reminders between sessions. These options give more flexibility to fit sessions into work, school, or family schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
