Courtney Moody, LCSW

Courtney Moody, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker based in Kentucky with 25 years of clinical experience supporting people through significant life challenges. As an LCSW she brings advanced social work training and practical experience to work with trauma, addiction, stress, anxiety, and personal growth, applying evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a compassionate, affirming manner.

Courtney helps clients navigate a wide range of concerns, from social anxiety and communication difficulties to workplace stress, attachment struggles, and recovery from traumatic experiences. Her practice includes extensive work with substance use and behavioral addictions, mood disorders, sexual health matters including BDSM and kink exploration, and body image or eating-related issues. She also supports those facing family-of-origin problems, first responder stress, codependency, and questions about life purpose and midlife transitions.

Her therapeutic style is collaborative and non-judgmental, honoring each person’s identity and individual journey while drawing on research-supported methods to foster resilience and self-understanding. Courtney partners with clients to develop practical strategies for healing, improve relationships and communication, and pursue meaningful personal transformation.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Courtney uses trauma-informed methods that focus on creating safety, understanding how past experiences affect present behavior, and building coping skills to process emotional pain. These approaches are often used with people recovering from abuse, significant loss, or overwhelming stress.

She also employs addiction-focused interventions that blend practical relapse-prevention strategies with work on underlying triggers, support systems, and lifestyle changes. These techniques help individuals address substance use and process co-occurring issues such as mood symptoms or codependency.

In addition, Courtney integrates coaching-oriented strategies to support clients pursuing life purpose, career transitions, or personal growth, offering structured goal-setting and skill-building alongside therapeutic work. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process - Courtney will work with each person to identify goals, preferences, and the most helpful techniques for their situation.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this work. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and increase access for those living outside metropolitan areas. These options allow licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care while tailoring session formats to individual needs and daily life constraints.
