About Courtney
Courtney Groce is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, parenting, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and other family-related struggles. Courtney works with adults who are managing life transitions, grief, career stress, ADHD, and identity concerns including LGBT topics.
Her style is direct and person-centered. She uses clear, practical strategies to build self-esteem and improve communication. Sessions often emphasize learning coping skills and handling strong emotions in day-to-day life.
Courtney draws from several therapeutic approaches to fit what a person needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought that make problems worse, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people focus on values and actions that matter to them. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens and responds in sessions.
She also brings elements of the Gottman Method when relationship patterns come up, and existential ideas when clients face big life questions or transitions. This mix lets her address immediate symptoms like anxiety while also looking at longer-term goals and choices.
People who contact her usually want practical tools and straightforward conversation about family stress, parenting strain, or relationship conflict. She works with the realities of daily life and helps people take manageable steps forward. To begin, readers are asked to follow the online intake steps and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with practical behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with daily stressors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and actions a person wants to live by, and teaches skills to accept difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy shapes how the therapist listens and responds, giving people space to describe what matters and be heard.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Courtney will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She collaborates with clients to try techniques, track what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can reduce travel time, allow for quicker check-ins during a break, or lower technical demands when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help people remain consistent with care and apply strategies between sessions.
