About Courtney

Courtney Lopez is an LCSW and clinical social worker practicing in Colorado who uses evidence-informed methods to help clients navigate loss, life transitions, and emotional challenges. She brings a practical focus on building coping skills, managing stress and anxiety, and addressing relationship and attachment concerns.

Background and approach

With nine years of experience, she integrates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside attachment-focused work to support clearer thinking and healthier patterns. Her work also covers grief and bereavement, parenting and family stress, career changes, and issues related to self-esteem and identity.

Clients may find support for addiction concerns, codependency, communication problems, and the emotional impacts of major life events like divorce or caregiving strain. Courtney emphasizes a nonjudgmental, client-centered stance that prioritizes where a person is in their process and what they want to change.

She frames therapy as collaborative, helping people make meaningful adjustments in choices, emotions, relationships, and behaviors so they can move toward a more satisfying life. Sessions aim to be practical and skills-oriented while honoring the complexity of grief, attachment wounds, and other deep emotional struggles.

Approach-Focused Online Care for Grief and Life Change

Courtney commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to structure online work. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches practical skills to shift behaviors and reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. ACT emphasizes clarifying values, building psychological flexibility, and learning mindful strategies to tolerate difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns and how early attachment experiences shape current relationships and emotional responses.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to determine which combination of approaches best matches their goals, preferences, and the specific issues they bring. Treatment plans are tailored over time and adjusted based on what proves most helpful in sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options allow clients to engage in structured skill-building, reflective conversation, and check-ins from home or another convenient location, making it easier to attend regularly and maintain therapeutic momentum.
