About Courtney Dunson

Courtney Dunson is a trauma-informed Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who guides individuals toward reclaiming a sense of self beneath past pain and fear of the future. She works with people who feel worn down by traumatic burdens and helps them move beyond the story trauma has written about them, encouraging reconnection with core values and identity.

Courtney emphasizes safety and stability before delving into painful memories, focusing first on building mental and emotional resilience in the nervous system. This groundwork supports later processing of traumatic experiences and reduces the risk of becoming overwhelmed during therapy.

Her clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, perfectionism, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, eating disorders, and attachment wounds. She offers therapeutic support and practical strategies tailored to where an individual is in their readiness for change, whether that moment arrives through a decision to act or a recognition that current patterns are unsustainable.

Courtney provides compassionate guidance and collaborative road maps for growth, helping people navigate difficult terrain with patience and clarity as they work toward renewed connection with themselves and their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape emotional patterns and current connections. It helps people explore attachment wounds, foster safer relational habits, and improve intimacy and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and obsessive tendencies; it offers practical skills for reframing unhelpful thinking and building more adaptive responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Courtney will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as they learn what helps most.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people juggling work, family, or mobility limits. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access licensed professionals from different locations, and integrate therapeutic tools into daily life without lengthy travel, while preserving the collaborative relationship between therapist and individual.
