About Courtney

Courtney Rankin is a licensed clinical professional counselor practicing in Illinois with five years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She focuses on helping people navigate a range of concerns including relationship and family challenges, anxiety and depression, grief and loss, stress, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, career questions, and ADHD. Her practice emphasizes meeting each client where they are and shaping treatment goals around individual circumstances.

Courtney approaches her work with unconditional positive regard and adapts conversations and therapeutic plans to reflect each person’s needs. She supports clients through major life transitions and the emotional fallout of loss or conflict, offering steady guidance as they identify coping strategies and clearer paths forward.

She encourages those taking the first steps toward therapy and aims to build a collaborative, respectful space for change and growth.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care



Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and restructuring unhelpful patterns. Cognitive approaches help clients identify and change negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, offering tools to manage distress and reframe challenges. Trauma-informed techniques emphasize safety, pacing, and processing intensely upsetting experiences in a way that acknowledges the impact of trauma on emotions and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is determined collaboratively. The therapist will work with each client to explore which methods match their goals, symptoms, and personal preferences, adjusting plans over time as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent care without requiring travel, make it easier to maintain regular sessions during life transitions, and support ongoing communication between meetings when appropriate.
