About Courtney
Courtney Meder is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor (LPCC) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related issues. Courtney also lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
She helps people talk through hard moments and make small practical changes that fit day-to-day life. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual, whether that is reducing panic attacks, managing somatic symptoms, or addressing problems around sexuality and kink culture. She notes that she works with relationship issues but does not do couples sessions.
Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods in straightforward ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports clients in clarifying values and taking steps that align with those values. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered techniques are available for skills practice and collaborative problem solving.
Courtney has worked with concerns such as chronic pain, illness, and disability, as well as infidelity, commitment worries, and issues around self-love. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that centers the client's goals and preferences. Practical coping skills and clear discussion are common parts of sessions.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which can be practiced in session and between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values, often using short experiential exercises and goal-setting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision making helps tailor session content as therapy progresses.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice skills in the contexts where challenges happen, such as rehearsing social interactions or grounding techniques between appointments.
