About Nanesha
Dr. Nanesha Courtney is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of experience. She brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy and focuses on helping people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and depression.
Her style is collaborative and respectful of how each person copes differently. She uses client-centered methods to help people identify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her work to spot unhelpful thinking and change repetitive patterns.
Background and approach
She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to build calmer responses in tense moments. Dr. Courtney has long experience supporting people living with chronic pain, medical conditions, and mood disorders such as bipolar disorder.
She has helped clients dealing with trauma, grief, and relationship or parenting strains. Her background includes work with caregivers, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the stresses of illness and disability. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is among the approaches she offers for trauma-related issues.
Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused strategies are also used when people want concrete steps toward change. Sessions aim to produce practical coping tools, not labels or complex jargon. She practices with an emphasis on teamwork.
Together with each person she identifies coping strategies that fit real life. Dr. Courtney is licensed in Washington and conducts sessions in English using video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

How chosen approaches work in online therapy
Dr. Courtney uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's needs and goals, listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most. This approach helps when someone wants a supportive space to sort out feelings and make decisions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that fuel anger, anxiety, or low mood. CBT provides straightforward tools people can practice between sessions to reduce reactivity and build better habits.
EMDR is offered for those who have trauma-related memories that continue to cause distress. In online EMDR work the therapist guides clients through structured processing aimed at easing the intensity of traumatic memories and shifting how those memories affect daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video helps keep visual contact for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins or shorter, focused exchanges between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping consistent progress.
