About Courtney
Courtney Strong-Gurr is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, address trauma and abuse, and navigate LGBT-related concerns. Her work also covers depression, relationship and family matters, grief, and a wide range of everyday struggles such as sleep, eating, and career stress.
She uses clear, structured conversations to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she uses to link thoughts, feelings, and actions in concrete ways.
Courtney also draws from attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships affect current patterns. Client-centered methods shape how she listens and responds, letting people set goals that matter to them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools and existential ideas are available when emotion regulation or meaning questions are central.
Her approach emphasizes small, doable changes. She breaks challenges into manageable tasks and coaches people through setbacks. This can include strategies for coping with anger, boosting self-esteem, handling parenting stress, or addressing substance use concerns.
Sessions are practical and focused on what a person wants to change. The aim is to increase useful skills and clearer thinking, not to promise specific outcomes. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before scheduling.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on clear links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Online sessions can set specific practice tasks and review progress together, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions. In an online setting this can help people notice recurring interaction styles and try new ways of relating in everyday life.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experience. The therapist listens with attention and responds to what the client finds most important, then supports steps the person chooses to take.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing a single model.
Confirm available session formats before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people participate without needing to be on camera for every appointment. These practical benefits help clients apply skills in real situations and keep therapy connected to daily life.
