About Courtney

Courtney Meder is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor (LPCC) with seven years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. She frames her work around respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs.

Background and approach

Courtney notes she addresses relationship problems but does not provide couples therapy. Her practice includes attention to a wide range of related topics such as sexual identity and expression, BDSM and kink communities, chronic pain and illness, commitment and infidelity issues, panic attacks, social anxiety, somatization, and women’s health concerns.

She draws on evidence-informed methods to help clients manage distress, build skills, and clarify values. Prospective clients can expect a collaborative, individualized approach that centers their goals and lived experiences while aiming for practical tools to improve day-to-day functioning and emotional wellbeing.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed action toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings; it is often helpful for stress, chronic worry, and life purpose concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses structured strategies to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and shift unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic therapeutic relationship that helps clients explore feelings and make their own choices about change.

Determining the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to consider presenting concerns, goals, and personal preferences and may combine elements from these approaches to best support progress. That partnership aims to match practical interventions with a supportive therapeutic stance.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or manage care from different locations within Ohio. These formats support continued access to licensed professionals and allow adjustments in pace and communication style according to what feels most useful to each client.
