“Courtney was a great listener. I felt better after speaking with him. Not because of what he said but because he listened and right now (first appointment) I really just wanted to be heard. I look forward to my next session with him. I have had a therapy session with someone else before and it didn’t feel like a good match. The follow up Questions that Courtney asked let me know that he knows how to conduct therapy. So far, I feel like Courtney will be able to help me grow from what I am going through. Thank you Courtney!”

Getting to know Courtney Wood

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker providing individual therapy exclusively to adults through secure telehealth. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic stress, difficult life transitions, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, relationship patterns, identity concerns, religious trauma, and substance-use or recovery concerns. My practice is affirming and welcoming of people from all backgrounds. I strive to provide a safe, respectful space where you can speak openly without fear of judgment. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, repeating patterns that no longer serve you, or simply wanting a better understanding of yourself, therapy can help you move toward greater confidence, emotional balance, and a life that feels more authentic.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I will listen carefully and support you, while also helping you recognize patterns, consider different perspectives, and make meaningful changes. I do not believe in taking a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Depending on your needs, I may draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and parts-informed approaches. Some sessions may focus on practical coping skills, while others may involve exploring how earlier experiences continue to affect your emotions, relationships, and choices today. You will not be pressured to discuss anything before you are ready. We will work at a pace that feels manageable and focus on the concerns and goals that matter most to you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our first session will focus on getting to know you, understanding what brings you to therapy, and discussing what you hope will be different as a result of our work together. We may talk about your current concerns, important experiences from your past, your strengths and supports, and any strategies you have already tried. In later sessions, we will usually begin with a brief check-in and decide together what would be most helpful to focus on that day. We may explore recurring thoughts, emotions, behaviors, or relationship patterns; practice coping and grounding skills; or identify small, realistic steps you can take between sessions. We will periodically review your progress and adjust our approach as your needs change. Therapy is collaborative—you bring the expertise about your life, and I bring clinical knowledge, support, and tools to help you move toward your goals.
