Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care for Trauma and ADHD

Online therapy with Courtney centers on approaches grounded in evidence and tailored to each person’s concerns. One key focus is trauma-informed techniques stemming from her Certified Clinical Trauma Professional training - these methods help people process past harm and reduce trauma-related symptoms while rebuilding a sense of safety and control. Another focus is assessment-informed care for ADHD, which involves structured evaluation followed by strategies to improve attention, organization, and daily functioning for teens and adults.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Courtney works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what’s most helpful in their daily lives, adapting techniques over time so treatment remains aligned with each person’s needs and progress.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from home, and maintain continuity of support while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to each client’s situation.
