About Courtney

Courtney Ramsey is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington who builds therapy around practical, evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Background and approach

With 12 years of clinical experience, she focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and depression while also addressing a wide range of related challenges such as ADHD, addiction, grief, and intimacy issues. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction and adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person's circumstances.

Her work also spans issues like eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger and self-esteem problems, career transitions, and compassion fatigue, as well as more specific concerns including post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and women’s issues. Courtney aims to partner with clients through change by combining client-centered listening with structured therapeutic tools.

She supports people who want practical strategies alongside reflective exploration, helping them build skills to cope with life’s challenges and move toward a more satisfying, balanced life.

Flexible evidence-informed approaches for online care

Courtney integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to guide online work. CBT offers practical skills for identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration to create a supportive environment where clients’ priorities shape the work.

She may also draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are central concerns, using structured skills training alongside validating, person-focused conversation. Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time based on what is most helpful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and daily routines. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care when schedules change and allow people to access therapeutic support from their preferred location while working with licensed professionals who adapt evidence-informed tools to an online setting.
