About Courtney
Courtney Dix is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses social anxiety and phobia along with related issues such as panic, relationship breakups, and isolation.
Courtney uses straightforward conversation to learn what matters to each person. She listens without judgment and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to guide that process.
In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. She may introduce mindfulness exercises to reduce distress in the moment and DBT skills to manage intense emotions. Cognitive techniques are used to test thoughts and build more balanced thinking patterns.
Courtney also supports people through life changes such as divorce, pregnancy and childbirth, and financial stress. She talks through practical coping strategies for parenting strain and role shifts that happen during transitions. Attachment concerns, body image, guilt and shame, and finding life purpose are other areas she addresses.
People can expect a calm, direct approach that focuses on clear goals and small, achievable steps. Sessions are conversational and aim to leave clients with something concrete to practice. To begin, readers are encouraged to follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.
How her therapy methods translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s perspective and following their pace, which helps build trust and clearer goals. In online sessions this means conversations center on what feels most pressing and the therapist reflects back what she hears to guide the next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. Online sessions can include planning those experiments, reviewing results, and adjusting strategies between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interactions. These skills can be taught in session, practiced during meetings, and then revisited to track progress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and current difficulties. That selection may shift as progress is made.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Generally, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice skills and report back from their daily routines so sessions focus on what actually happened since the last meeting.
