About Courtney

Courtney Groce is an LPC with ten years of clinical experience practicing in Missouri. She works with people facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma, and relationship difficulties.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes culturally responsive care and thoughtful attention to how life transitions, interpersonal dynamics, and identity-related stressors shape emotional well-being. Her style blends practical skill-building with acceptance-based, reflective work to help clients increase self-esteem, manage stress, and strengthen communication.

She draws on evidence-informed methods to support coping with mood disorders, career and parenting pressures, and complicated family histories such as adoption, blended-family issues, or family-of-origin patterns. Courtney aims to create a respectful space where clients can process difficult feelings, try new strategies, and pursue realistic goals for change.

In sessions she focuses on collaboration and individualized planning, helping each person identify priorities and practice tools that fit their daily life. People seeking help for relationship concerns, compassion fatigue, or life changes will find a therapist who balances empathy with clear, structured approaches to healing and growth.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, consistent steps toward those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood instability. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, validation, and a non-judgmental stance that supports a person’s own capacity for growth and self-understanding.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges and then tailor a blend of techniques that suit their needs. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule consistent work around busy lives or geographic distance. These formats support regular skill practice, check-ins between live meetings, and smoother access to a licensed professional for people balancing careers, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
