About Courtney

Courtney Burrus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that shape how people cope, and she supports clients who are facing trauma, grief, parenting challenges, addiction, and life transitions.

Courtney centers sessions on honest conversation and clear goals. She encourages clients to notice thought patterns and small daily routines that keep problems stuck. Together they try practical steps to change unhelpful habits and improve connection with others.

Courtney also draws on Solution-Focused and Internal Family Systems ideas to find workable changes and to look at different parts of a person that hold difficult feelings. Existential perspectives come in when people are searching for meaning or purpose during big life changes.

Across 12 years of practice, she has supported people with parenting struggles, body image and eating concerns, chronic illness and pain, and workplace stress. Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful, helping people make small, steady changes they can maintain.

Clients who choose her often want a therapist who listens, sets collaborative goals, and focuses on practical shifts in thinking and daily habits.

Approaches That Guide Online Work and Practical Change

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It focuses on small, practical changes you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, lift mood, or change habits.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience and pace. The therapist listens deeply and helps clients find their own solutions rather than imposing fixes.

Internal Family Systems looks at the different parts inside a person that hold strong feelings or protective roles. It can help with trauma, shame, and patterns that keep repeating in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice may change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, such as taking a check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Working remotely still centers on clear goals, homework between sessions, and practical techniques you can use in daily routines.
