About Cortney

Cortney Edwards is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Texas who helps people address a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family challenges, LGBT and gender dysphoria topics, ADHD, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings a client-centered attitude to sessions, aiming to meet each person where they are without imposing predetermined priorities. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and respect for the client's goals and pace.

Edwards draws on several therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral strategies, attachment-informed work, and mindfulness techniques to support coping, symptom management, and healthier patterns in relationships and self-understanding.

With five years of documented experience and credentials as LCPC and LPC, she has practiced in clinical and school settings and has worked with people navigating prenatal and postpartum concerns, career and identity questions, and communication or family-of-origin issues. She frames therapy as a shared process that values trust, empathy, and practical steps toward meaningful change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and close relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust; in online sessions this approach helps people explore interpersonal wounds and build safer ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, making it suited to structured online work with specific exercises and homework. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and listening, creating a respectful space where clients set the pace and topics for change.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine elements from different methods to create a plan that feels manageable and effective for the individual's situation.

Online therapy with this clinician is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, to practice skills between appointments, and to access support from wherever a client is located within the therapist's service area.
