About Courtney

Courtney Dunson, LPC, works with people carrying the weight of stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, ADHD, and related concerns such as attachment wounds, eating issues, and obsessive-compulsive patterns.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a path back to a clearer sense of self by helping clients move beyond the stories that trauma and life challenges have imposed. Her practice emphasizes gradual stabilization of the nervous system before engaging in deeper processing, so people feel safer and better equipped to explore painful memories and patterns.

With seven years of clinical experience, Courtney draws from approaches that center the person and their relationships while offering concrete skills for daily life. She blends attachment-focused work with client-centered listening and evidence-based strategies to address perfectionism, self-esteem struggles, intimacy-related problems, and habits that interfere with wellbeing.

Based in Colorado and practicing as an LPC, she offers a supportive, collaborative environment aimed at restoring resilience and helping clients chart practical road maps for change.

Therapeutic approaches and online flexibility

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional safety and patterns in close connections; it can help people address attachment wounds, codependency, and intimacy-related struggles by exploring relational history and rebuilding trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical, structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, OCD symptoms, and many everyday coping challenges. Motivational Interviewing supports gentle exploration of readiness for change and helps clarify values and goals when ambivalence or avoidance is present.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapt methods and pacing so the work feels manageable and relevant. Clients share input about what feels most helpful and adjustments are made as the relationship and treatment progress.

Online therapy with this clinician can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and access care from home or elsewhere, offering flexibility for those balancing work, family, or other responsibilities.
