About Cortney

Cortney Edwards is a licensed counselor who helps people work on self esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting questions, and life changes. She speaks plainly and prioritizes building trust so clients can feel encouraged to talk about what matters most. Cortney holds LCPC and LPC credentials and practices in Texas. Her approach centers on the relationship between client and counselor. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns that began in family life. She also draws on client-centered work to follow each person's pace and priorities. Cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness tools are used to address negative thinking and overwhelming feelings. Cortney offers practical, goal-focused sessions when that fits a person's needs. Solution-focused techniques help people identify small steps that lead to change. She also spends time working through past hurts when that is important to healing. She has five years of experience and has worked in independent practice and school settings. Cortney has supported people dealing with bipolar mood shifts, postpartum challenges, ADHD-related struggles, grief, trauma, and addiction concerns. She also assists those navigating gender dysphoria and LGBT-related topics. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, gentle encouragement, and collaboration on next steps. Cortney emphasizes clear goals and realistic tools people can use between sessions. She invites questions about the process and what to expect in counseling.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice repeating dynamics and learn different ways to relate to others and themselves. Client-Centered Therapy is built around the client's pace and priorities; the therapist listens closely and follows the person's lead to help them feel understood and supported. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cortney will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try approaches and adjust based on what helps most, with attention to both immediate concerns and longer-term patterns.

The original biography did not specify which online session types are available. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to use mindfulness exercises, CBT worksheets, and attachment-focused reflection in sessions just like in person, adapted to the session format agreed upon.
