About Courtney
Courtney Mayfield is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, family concerns, parenting, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and adjustment to life changes. She also addresses mood disorders, ADHD, postpartum depression, and issues that come up around adoption and foster care.
She works with adults who are managing family strain or heavy parenting demands. Sessions emphasize clearer communication, rebuilding self-esteem, and practical coping skills. She uses common, evidence-based methods to help people make small, manageable changes that improve day-to-day life.
Courtney blends client-centered conversations with strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy. She also incorporates mindfulness practices and solution-focused steps to help people reduce distress and set realistic goals. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when clients want to change habits or make important life decisions.
Her background includes long-term work with people facing divorce and separation, blended family issues, attachment concerns, and caregiver stress. She pays attention to how past hurts, guilt, and shame affect current choices and relationships. Practical skill-building is a regular part of sessions so people can try new ways of relating between meetings.
People who come for help will find straightforward, paced conversations and concrete tools to practice. The emphasis is on useful change rather than theory. Her faith-informed perspective is part of her approach when clients bring spiritual concerns into the work.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow Texas LPC practice standards. For next steps, readers are asked to confirm current session options before booking so they know which formats are offered.
How sessions work
How certain approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. In online sessions this means the therapist prioritizes understanding the person’s priorities and concerns, and uses that understanding to guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often includes short exercises and practical homework to try between meetings to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.Mindfulness therapy helps people develop attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity. Brief guided practices and grounding techniques can be used during sessions and practiced at home to help with stress, parenting overwhelm, and mood symptoms. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily routines, and adjusts the plan over time based on what helps.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that having therapy available remotely helps them maintain consistency while balancing family and work responsibilities.
