About Courtney
Courtney Brooke Sergent-Fox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with ten years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, career challenges, and major life changes. She also addresses family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue.
Courtney uses practical, goal-focused work in sessions. She listens for unhelpful thoughts and patterns and helps people try different ways of responding. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. She also uses EMDR, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies as tools when they fit a person's needs.
In a typical session she breaks problems into manageable steps. She helps identify specific habits to change and small experiments to try between meetings. Sessions aim to make problems clearer and create concrete next steps rather than long abstract discussion.
Courtney emphasizes collaboration. She views the person seeking help as the expert on their life and builds on existing strengths. She asks practical questions about what is working and what feels most urgent right now.
Her background includes direct clinical work with adults across common life stresses and workplace-related issues. She works in English and practices in Kentucky. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and details through the site's scheduling flow.
How CBT, EMDR, and Mindfulness translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online sessions can include reviewing thought records, setting small behavioral experiments, and tracking progress between meetings. EMDR is used to process distressing memories through guided bilateral stimulation and can be adapted to online sessions when appropriate. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness exercises and short practices to reduce reactivity and improve calm in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and current problems and then propose methods to try. That plan is revised as needed, so the client and therapist make decisions together about which techniques are most helpful.
Confirm session formats before booking as current options are listed in the scheduling flow. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or let someone avoid travel time. It can also support using in-the-moment tools at home, doing between-session exercises, and checking progress in a concrete way.
