About Courtney

Courtney Dix is a Kentucky-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 11 years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She creates a welcoming space where clients can explore difficult thoughts and emotions and work toward clearer coping strategies and greater confidence. Her practice emphasizes practical, evidence-informed tools alongside empathic listening.

Drawing on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness techniques, client-centered methods, and motivational interviewing, she helps clients identify unhelpful patterns and develop sustainable ways to manage symptoms.

Additional areas of focus include attachment concerns, body image, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, financial stress, panic attacks, trauma, pregnancy and childbirth, sexuality, social phobia, and women's issues. Courtney partners with each person to tailor a plan that addresses their priorities while honoring their pace and values.

Practical approaches for online therapy and skill-building



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, helping people reduce anxiety, manage depression, and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapist's empathic presence and unconditional positive regard, creating a supportive environment for clients to explore feelings and clarify values. DBT offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be especially useful for intense emotions and relationship stressors.

Finding the right combination of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adjusts techniques over time so the approach fits each person's situation and pace. Clients are encouraged to share feedback as part of ongoing treatment planning.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels with communication. These formats make it possible to access regular sessions and practice skills between meetings, supporting continuity of care and easier integration of therapeutic work into everyday life.
