About Courtney
Courtney Porter is a licensed clinical social worker with a decade of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She combines practical strategies with a warm, nonjudgmental presence to help clients make steady, meaningful progress.
Background and approach
Courtney emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and supports clients in developing clearer thinking patterns, healthier coping skills, and greater confidence over time. Her practice draws on several evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, narrative approaches, and solution-focused strategies.
Sessions aim to balance short-term problem solving with deeper exploration of personal stories and values. Based in Tennessee and licensed as an LCSW, she meets clients where they are and encourages people to take the first step toward change when they're ready.
Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care
Courtney uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by teaching practical skills for daily life. She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment awareness and stress management skills, helping people respond to difficult emotions with less reactivity and more intention.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to combine methods that fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting strategies over time as needs evolve. This partnership helps shape a treatment path that feels purposeful and aligned with what the client hopes to achieve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or other commitments, and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent therapeutic support across a variety of communication styles.
