Courtney Dunson

Courtney Dunson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and eating or body-image concerns. She works with people carrying the weight of past wounds and those facing hard life transitions. Her focus includes anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and relationship and attachment difficulties.

Courtney uses a steady, step-by-step approach. She emphasizes safety and stability before moving into painful memories. Early sessions often focus on building emotional and nervous system resilience so people feel steadier over time.

Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools and dialectical behavior strategies to teach practical skills for coping and emotion regulation. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want help finding reasons to change and staying motivated.

Courtney aims to create clear, manageable steps people can try between sessions. She talks through patterns, helps identify unhelpful thoughts, and supports changes to daily routines that reduce distress. She presents options and collaborates on what feels realistic for each person.

With seven years of clinical experience, Courtney offers a calm presence and practical guidance. People who come feeling overwhelmed or stuck will find an approach that moves at a pace they can handle. To begin, she asks people to reflect on goals and readiness, then picks strategies that fit those aims.

How online therapy connects therapeutic approaches to daily life

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people look at how early relationships shape current patterns. It often focuses on building safer ways of relating and reducing repeated hurt. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, with the therapist listening closely and following the client's lead to name what matters most.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Together they will try strategies and adjust as needed to find what fits best.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during different parts of the day. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions because they rely on conversation and skill practice that can be done between meetings. Licensed professionals can help clients adapt tools and exercises so therapy works alongside everyday life.
