About Courtney

Courtney Burrus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and issues around intimacy and addiction. Her practice also addresses codependency and problems tied to family of origin and parenting.

She focuses on direct, practical conversation. Sessions look at how patterns show up in daily life. That can mean noticing people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or staying in relationships that leave someone drained. She helps clients name those patterns and try different ways of responding.

Courtney draws on several approaches rather than a single method. She uses client-centered techniques to prioritize what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test small behavioral changes. Internal Family Systems can help people understand conflicting inner parts.

In practice she keeps work straightforward. Clients can expect goal-focused talk, small experiments to try between sessions, and space to reflect on outcomes. She also uses solution-focused methods to break larger problems into manageable steps.

Clients often come with layered concerns like grief, chronic stress, parenting strain, or substance-related issues. Courtney helps people sort priorities and create clear next steps. The emphasis is on practical shifts in day-to-day behavior rather than abstract theory.

How sessions work

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s concerns and values. It centers what matters most to the client and uses reflection and open questions to clarify priorities. This helps when someone wants to understand why they keep putting others first.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It breaks issues into manageable parts and tests small changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, or patterns of people-pleasing that feel automatic.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That discussion shapes each plan and can change over time as needs shift.

Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, parenting, or medical appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better suits daily life. Licensed professionals can use online formats to continue steady work while keeping therapy aligned with everyday routines.
