About Courtney
Courtney Ramsey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington. She draws on 12 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Courtney works in a straightforward, respectful way.
She focuses on building a plan that fits each person's needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions center on practical skills and clear conversation so clients can try things between meetings.
Background and approach
Her background includes a range of concerns from ADHD and addictions to relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with grief, career transitions, and seasonal mood changes. Additional focus areas include communication problems, dissociation, and recovery from sexual assault and domestic violence.
Courtney uses several therapy approaches to match the client and the issue. She draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness-based work. These tools are used to address symptoms, coping skills, and processing difficult memories.
People who work with Courtney can expect collaborative sessions where goals are set together. She aims to be sensitive and compassionate while helping clients build skills for everyday life. Starting therapy is framed as a step toward more manageable feelings and clearer choices.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It involves open, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist helps the client clarify goals and make choices that feel right. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. It can help people manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, symptoms, and daily life to recommend which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works and what doesn't, so clients help shape their own care every step of the way.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls let people use visual cues and fuller conversation. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or for people who prefer typing to talking. These options make it easier to get consistent care without long commutes or scheduling hurdles.
