About Courtney
Dr. Courtney Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience helping adults navigate life changes. She encourages people to take the first step toward a brighter future and offers steady support while clients work toward their goals.
She focuses on practical steps to reduce worry and stress. Sessions often start with building rapport and setting clear, achievable goals. From there she helps clients develop coping and relaxation skills they can use between appointments.
Background and approach
Her experience includes support for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, and bipolar-related issues. She brings a calm, goal-oriented style and works to tailor care to each person’s situation. Dr.
Washington aims to give people tools that last beyond therapy. She describes therapy as a process that takes time and partners with clients for the period they need. The emphasis is on building skills clients can rely on after counseling ends.
Clients should expect a collaborative atmosphere where progress is tracked against the goals set together. She practices in Michigan and uses straightforward language during sessions to keep conversations clear and focused on real-life changes.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Dr. Washington uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical skills. One common approach is goal-oriented skill building, which breaks larger problems into small, manageable steps and teaches coping and relaxation exercises to reduce stress and anxiety. This helps people who feel overwhelmed by day-to-day pressures.Another frequent method is problem-focused talk therapy, which examines relationship patterns, communication habits, and responses to triggers like anger. This approach helps people try new ways of interacting and managing strong emotions in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or adapt techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they check progress and change tactics when something isn’t working.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when a lower bandwidth option is needed or a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging help keep momentum between sessions and suit people who prefer writing or need quick access to support. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care and keep therapy aligned with daily routines.
