About Cortney
Cortney Edwards is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of experience based in Texas. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, stress, addiction, trauma, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, and issues related to identity such as LGBT and gender dysphoria.
She uses straightforward, skills-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions involve talking through current problems, practicing new ways to respond, and checking what works in daily life. Cortney draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people test and change patterns of thinking and behavior.
Her approach also emphasizes attachment-based ideas and client-centered conversation. That means she pays attention to how past relationships affect present feelings, and she keeps the focus on the person's goals and priorities. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used when practical exercises or quick steps can help.
In sessions she helps people sort through parenting stress, relationship conflicts, career pressure, and the emotional ups and downs of life changes. She also supports people dealing with postpartum and perinatal concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and issues connected to family of origin and communication problems.
Cortney has experience from both private practice and school settings. She encourages clear, concrete steps between sessions so people can try new responses and bring back what helped and what didn’t. To start, the reader is asked to use the site’s matching process and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a practical, goal-oriented method that helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, mood instability, and problems with stress and impulsivity.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns. It helps people understand recurring relationship conflicts, intimacy issues, and family of origin dynamics.
Finding the best fit is collaborative. Cortney will talk with the client about goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps. The plan can combine CBT skill practice, checking how attachment patterns show up, and brief solution-focused steps when quick changes are useful.
