About Courtney

Courtney Burrus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, addiction, parenting strain, grief, and related issues.

Courtney focuses on clear, practical work in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps people identify small changes that can reduce overwhelm. Conversations often include noticing patterns in thinking and behavior and testing new ways of responding to hard moments.

Her approach draws on client-centered work to keep the person’s perspective central. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to map thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Internal Family Systems language is used to name different parts of a person and how they try to protect or help.

People come for help with family problems, communication issues, attachment and abandonment wounds, body image, and challenges tied to chronic illness or caregiving. She also supports those coping with addiction, bipolar symptoms, eating concerns, and workplace or parenting stress.

In sessions she helps clients set concrete goals, practice skills, and track what changes. Work can include brief solution-focused interventions alongside deeper exploration of relationship patterns. The pace and focus are set by the client’s needs and the issues they bring.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s goals first. In online sessions this means the therapist focuses on what the client wants to change and follows their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online work can include practicing specific skills, tracking patterns between sessions, and trying brief experiments to see what helps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative planning can include mixing client-centered listening, CBT tasks, or parts-based Internal Family Systems language to address complex emotions and relationship patterns.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Discussing practical details up front helps make sessions useful and manageable alongside parenting or work responsibilities.
