About Courtney
Courtney Strong-Gurr is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona who brings ten years of experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and depression.
Background and approach
She addresses a wide range of concerns including LGBT-related issues, relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy and body-image struggles, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and caregiving stress. Her practice also includes focused work around abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, domestic violence, and substance use challenges.
Courtney emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and take steps toward meaningful change. She draws on evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies along with attachment-based and client-centered approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs.
The result is collaborative work that supports coping skills, emotional processing, and clearer decision making during life transitions. Clients who choose Courtney can expect steady support aimed at empowerment and practical growth.
Her approach balances compassionate listening with concrete tools to help people manage symptoms, navigate relationships, and move toward greater well-being.
Approach-Based Online Therapy That Fits Your Life
Courtney uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with addiction. She also integrates attachment-based principles to explore how early and current relationship patterns influence emotions and relational difficulties, which can help when working through intimacy, abandonment, or blended-family concerns. In sessions grounded in client-centered therapy, she focuses on empathetic listening and collaboration so people feel heard while deciding what changes to pursue.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. She aims to tailor methods to each person’s goals and preferences, and will collaborate with clients to determine whether cognitive strategies, attachment exploration, or a client-centered focus serve their needs best over time.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to continue steady, skills-focused work even when life is busy or travel is difficult, and they allow regular check-ins and skill practice between sessions.
