About Courtney
Courtney Szabo is an Ohio LISW with six years of clinical experience working with adults. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and parenting challenges. She also addresses workplace issues, self-esteem, and family of origin issues.
Courtney focuses on practical change. Sessions emphasize clear communication, skills practice, and understanding how early family patterns still show up in adult life. She describes a direct, caring, and supportive communication style and centers sessions on the client's goals.
She integrates several approaches to match what a person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the client’s perspective central and guides what to work on next.
Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used for stress management and quick problem-solving steps. Trauma-Focused methods are included when people want to address past traumatic experiences or abuse, with attention to pacing and safety.
Courtney often combines education, practical tools, and talk work so clients can try new strategies between sessions. She encourages straightforward feedback and adjusts the plan as progress or new concerns appear.
How her approaches are used in online work
Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's experience first and focuses on what the person wants to address. In practice this means sessions begin by clarifying goals and then adjusting pace and focus as needed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses exercises to test new ways of responding; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and workplace stress. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on goals, symptoms, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying short experiments, reviewing progress, and switching strategies if something is not helping. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or caregiving schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can assign practical exercises and mindfulness practices between sessions so work continues outside the meeting time.Areas of expertise
