About Courtney

Courtney Brooke Sergent-Fox is a Kentucky-based licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, career concerns, and major life transitions. She emphasizes clients' own knowledge and strengths, working with each person to build practical skills and clearer perspectives.

Background and approach

Her background includes a decade of clinical practice, during which she has supported clients facing grief, intimacy-related struggles, compassion fatigue, and a range of life-stage and workplace issues. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods to tailor care to individual needs, drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside trauma-focused and mindfulness-informed strategies.

Courtney values collaboration and encourages clients to view therapy as a process of exploration and skill building.

She recognizes the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to create a steady, goal-oriented path forward, helping clients hone communication, cope with stressors, and clarify life purpose while attending to concerns like body image, financial stress, social anxiety, and women’s issues.

Practical therapeutic approaches delivered online

Many clients find cognitive behavioral methods useful for identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical coping skills; CBT focuses on changing thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms like anxiety and stress. EMDR offers a trauma-informed approach that uses structured processing to help reduce the intensity of distressing memories and related reactions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that can support emotional regulation and improved focus.

Determining the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal preferences, often combining elements from different approaches to create a tailored plan. This collaboration helps prioritize what to try first and how to track progress over time.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can increase flexibility for busy schedules and remote locations. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access support between sessions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client.
