Courtney Brooke Sergent-Fox

Courtney Brooke Sergent-Fox is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, and career challenges. She works with clients who are coping with life changes and who want practical tools to manage day-to-day pressure. Her tone is encouraging and straightforward for those taking the first step into therapy.

With ten years of experience as an LCSW in Kentucky, she treats concerns like grief, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on body image, communication problems, and workplace stress. Clients can expect clear conversations that name problems and break them into manageable steps.

Courtney uses a mix of approaches that fit each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. She integrates mindfulness practices to help people stay present during stressful moments.

Her background includes supporting people with life purpose questions, midlife transitions, money and financial stress, and issues common to young adults. She brings a practical, strengths-based stance, noticing what already works and building from there.

Sessions are framed to help people set realistic goals and try small changes between meetings. Her style emphasizes collaboration and steady progress. If you want a down-to-earth conversation about making life more manageable, she meets people where they are and helps them move forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes to see what helps. It is often used for anxiety, stress, social anxiety, and workplace worry. EMDR, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, uses structured techniques to help people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity; it is often used when past events continue to cause stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. That conversation guides which methods are tried and how quickly the plan changes if something is not working.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help people stay consistent when work or caregiving makes in-person visits difficult. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available and how scheduling will work.
