About Courtney
Courtney Groce is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, anger, or substance use. Her work is practical and direct, aimed at helping people manage strong emotions and improve daily functioning.
Courtney uses clear, relatable language in sessions and helps clients build skills they can use right away. She listens for patterns that get in the way of relationships, work, or self-worth and offers tools to change those patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral tools with acceptance-based ideas to help people respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in each person’s priorities.
This mix supports people dealing with life transitions, grief, parenting strain, or long-standing mood problems. Courtney pays attention to how family history, identity, and past trauma shape current behavior. She helps people who face communication struggles, codependency, or caregiving stress to set boundaries and rebuild trust in themselves.
Work may include practicing new ways to talk, making behavior changes, and planning for setbacks. Clients can expect a respectful, culturally aware clinician who encourages collaboration. Sessions aim to increase coping skills, reduce reactivity, and support clearer thinking.
Courtney welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and also works with international clients by video or messaging.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting led by them, and it focuses on taking actions that match personal values. This can be useful for anxiety, anger, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it works well for stress, depression, and some addictive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience at the center and emphasizes empathy and collaboration to build insight and confidence.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life. Together they try methods, track what helps, and adjust the plan so sessions feel relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers scheduling flexibility and more ways to stay connected between sessions. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and role play. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to get support during the day and to send updates or reflections between appointments.
