Courtney Jones, LCMHC

Courtney Jones is a licensed clinician who draws on 15 years of experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. She holds an LCMHC license in North Carolina and approaches work with calm, direct support. Her style stresses respect for each person's story and strengths as tools for change.

She believes clients are the experts on their lives and brings a collaborative attitude to sessions. That means listening first, then helping people set small, clear goals they can try between meetings. Practical strategies may include looking at thoughts and behaviors, building motivation, and using mindfulness to reduce overwhelm.

Courtney works with a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, relationship struggles, grief, and life transitions. She also helps people dealing with ADHD, mood disorders, and both drug and alcohol addiction. Parenting strain, caregiver stress, and issues around body image and self-love are other areas she supports.

Her approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered methods. Sessions are grounded in everyday language and concrete steps rather than technical jargon. Clients can expect an encouraging space that focuses on what matters most to them.

People who want to begin usually complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Courtney aims to help people move toward clearer values, steadier moods, and better coping skills over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT can help people identify thinking patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood and try new behaviors between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values and committed action; it helps people notice difficult thoughts and still move toward what matters. Motivational Interviewing uses focused conversation to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change and can be useful when motivation feels stuck.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. That collaborative process means methods can be blended or adjusted over time based on what is helpful.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, require less travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If someone prefers working from a quieter setting, or wants a focused, practical session during a lunch break, an online appointment can make that more manageable.
