About Courtney
Dr. Courtney Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She encourages people to take the first step toward change and meets them where they are. Her approach begins with building rapport and setting clear, achievable goals.
Doctor C focuses on everyday problems that disrupt sleep and rest, mood, and relationships. She talks with people about stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues such as addictions, eating concerns, and anger. She also supports people dealing with relationship struggles, intimacy-related difficulties, parenting strain, and bipolar-related concerns.
In sessions she first works to understand each person's goals and priorities. That understanding guides a plan to reduce worry and stress while building coping and relaxation skills. The work is practical and paced to the client's needs, with attention to skills that can be used outside of sessions.
She has experience offering care across many settings and with a diverse range of adults, couples, and individuals facing complex mental health concerns. Dr. Washington emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes, and she stays alongside people for the time they need to reach their goals.
People who choose her often want a counselor who sets clear goals, teaches concrete coping tools, and helps improve sleep and daily routines that affect rest and recovery. She invites prospective clients to take the first step toward a brighter future and to discuss what a workable plan would look like for them.
Evidence-based techniques and online care that fit your life
Dr. Washington uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage sleep disruption and related concerns. One common approach focuses on teaching relaxation and coping skills to reduce stress and anxiety that interfere with sleep. These practical exercises aim to lower arousal before bedtime and build steady routines that support rest.Another approach centers on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then replacing them with clearer, healthier habits. This work often targets worry, mood patterns, and relationship tensions that spill into sleep and daytime functioning. Both approaches emphasize skills people can practice between sessions to improve sleep and daily energy.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to clarify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so care stays aligned with their needs and preferences.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and fewer barriers to keeping regular appointments. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm available session options before booking. The emphasis is on finding a rhythm of meetings and homework that supports better sleep, steadier mood, and improved day-to-day functioning.
