About Courtney
Courtney Burrus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on practical, compassionate therapy. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, parenting concerns, and relationship or intimacy struggles. Her style is down-to-earth and goal-oriented, so conversations quickly get to what matters most to each person.
Courtney draws on several ways of working to match each person's needs. She uses client-centered methods to build trust and understand someone's priorities.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer, more helpful ones. Internal Family Systems is used when people want to explore different parts of themselves and how those parts affect choices. Over 12 years of practice, she has helped people cope with grief, work stress, chronic illness, and life transitions.
She also addresses concerns like body image, codependency, commitment worries, and challenges tied to family of origin or fatherhood. Sessions aim to leave people with concrete tools and clearer next steps. Courtney supports parents who need practical strategies for the pressures of raising kids and balancing life demands.
She also offers coaching-style guidance when people want focused growth plans rather than long-term therapy. Her work is collaborative. She listens first, then helps set short-term goals and measurable steps.
The aim is steady progress you can use day to day, not vague promises or one-size-fits-all plans.

Approaches that fit online care
Courtney uses client-centered work to start most online sessions. That means she focuses first on listening and understanding what the person says matters most. This approach is helpful for building trust and shaping goals that feel relevant to day-to-day life.She also often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is practical and works well online because it gives specific exercises and homework to try between sessions. Internal Family Systems is another option she may use when people want to map out internal parts and how they interact; it supports deeper self-understanding and change over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Courtney will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose strategies that match needs and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy offers a range of formats to make sessions work for real life. Video calls let people see expressions and use visual tools. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a fit when video is not practical. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support and quick check-ins during busy weeks. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing parenting, work, and other demands.
