About Courtney

Dr. Courtney Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping concerns, parenting, anger, self-esteem, and bipolar disorder. Her practice emphasizes setting clear goals and practical steps toward change.

Dr. Washington begins by building rapport and clarifying what a client wants to achieve. She breaks goals down into manageable steps and focuses on reducing worry, stress, and anxiety that get in the way of daily life. Sessions include learning coping strategies and relaxation skills that clients can use between meetings.

She describes counseling as a process that takes time and steady effort. Dr. Washington stays involved through the timeframe each person needs and aims to leave clients with tools they can continue to use after counseling ends. The approach is structured around measurable progress rather than vague promises.

Her background includes many years working with adults, couples, and families across a range of mental health concerns. That experience informs a practice that is practical and goal-oriented. Clients who want clear steps, skill-building, and help managing strong emotions may find this style useful.

Dr. Washington communicates in English and practices in Michigan. Before booking, confirm the current session options, as session formats are set through the platform and can change.

How sessions work

How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions

Dr. Washington uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at clear, achievable change. One common approach focuses on building coping and relaxation skills. These are practical exercises to reduce immediate tension and help manage stress and anger as it comes up. Another frequent element is goal-setting and behavior change work. That involves identifying small steps toward a larger goal and tracking progress between sessions.

Choosing which approaches to use is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to identify their priorities, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust over time based on what helps most. This keeps the work focused and responsive to the client’s needs and preferences.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the platform lists current options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or letting someone join from a quieter location. Licensed professionals can use online meetings to teach skills, review progress, and plan next steps in ways that align with everyday life.
