About Courtney
Courtney Dunson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and trauma. She works with individuals carrying painful past experiences and those struggling with everyday pressures. Her focus includes coping with life changes, addictions, grief, intimacy and self-esteem concerns, and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Courtney aims to create steady ground before addressing painful memories. She begins by helping people strengthen emotional and nervous system stability.
Background and approach
That often means learning skills to tolerate intense feelings and reduce overwhelm. She uses practical, down-to-earth strategies drawn from cognitive-behavioral and dialectical approaches. That means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing new behaviors, and practicing skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to rebuild trust in relationships and in oneself. Sessions are conversational and paced to the client’s readiness. Courtney encourages small, achievable changes and gives clear tools people can use between sessions.
She works steadily toward goals like improved sleep, healthier eating patterns, reduced compulsive behaviors, and calmer responses to anger. With seven years of experience, Courtney balances direct skill teaching with a compassionate presence. She helps people reconnect with values and purpose while managing the practical problems of daily life.
If someone feels stuck under the weight of old wounds, she offers concrete steps for moving forward.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Courtney draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, anger, compulsions, sleep problems, and mood changes because it breaks problems into manageable steps.She also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to restore a sense of safety in relationships and in the therapy relationship itself. Attachment-focused work helps with feelings of abandonment, trust issues, and intimacy concerns, while a client-centered stance keeps the work grounded in each person’s goals.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Courtney will talk with each person about their needs and goals, try strategies, and adjust methods as progress unfolds. That means therapy can shift between skills practice and deeper relational work depending on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video helps when visual cues matter, phone calls work well when internet or bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone check in quickly, and text messaging can support short updates or practice between sessions. These options offer flexibility for work schedules, caregiving, and travel while preserving regular contact with a licensed professional.
