About Courtney
Courtney Dunson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people worn down by anxiety, grief, sleep problems, and life changes. She works with individuals carrying trauma, addiction issues, or struggles with self-esteem and relationships. Her style aims to restore energy and everyday functioning so people can feel more like themselves again.
Courtney focuses on building emotional and nervous system stability before asking someone to revisit painful memories. That means starting with small, practical skills to manage distress and improve sleep and mood. These early steps are paced so people can try them between sessions and notice changes over time.
Her work draws on approaches such as attachment-based methods, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, and motivational interviewing. She uses these tools to address things like obsessive thoughts, perfectionism, body image, and patterns of codependency. The aim is to shift habits and relieve the daily weight of symptoms rather than only naming them.
Courtney also helps with parenting stress, intimacy-related concerns, and the fallout of post-traumatic stress. She talks through practical routines, communication habits, and coping strategies that fit a person's life. Progress is tracked in clear, concrete ways so goals feel achievable.
People who reach out can expect a calm, steady approach that balances short-term coping skills with deeper attachment work. She invites clients to explore where they feel stuck and to try doable steps toward greater rest, connection, and purpose.
How her approaches translate to online care
Courtney combines attachment-based work, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral techniques in ways that fit online practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people notice and change patterns that cause distress. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and following a person's pace so sessions center on their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful cycles and improve sleep and mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change as work progresses and as different skills are tried and evaluated together.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, shorten travel time, and let people use tools learned in session in real settings. It can also allow for focused check-ins or longer skill-building sessions depending on what a person needs and what the therapist offers.
