About Courtney

Courtney Dunson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people carrying heavy emotional burdens. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self esteem, trauma and related concerns so people can feel more like themselves again.

Courtney works with individuals who feel worn down by past hurts or stuck facing a future that feels uncertain. She begins by creating steady routines and small skills for emotional stability. That foundation makes it possible to handle harder memories and change unhelpful patterns.

Her approach is practical and person-centered. Sessions often include clear, step-by-step strategies to reduce anxiety, manage obsessive thoughts, and address eating or sleeping struggles. She also pays attention to attachment wounds, codependency, and relationship patterns that keep people stuck.

Over seven years of practice have shaped a calm, steady style. Courtney uses methods from attachment-based therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational interviewing to match what each person needs. The work is collaborative and paced to the client’s readiness.

People who come for help can expect straightforward support, skill-building, and guidance toward goals like less reactivity, clearer boundaries, and stronger self regard. To begin, clients complete a brief matching form and schedule sessions based on availability.

Courtney offers services in English and practices in Colorado as an LPC.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect emotions now. It helps people recognize why they react or withdraw in relationships and build new, more helpful ways of relating.

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what is heard, and supports people as they find their own direction and answers.

Courtney uses cognitive behavioral techniques to break down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into small, changeable steps, and draws from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Together these approaches help with anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, obsessive patterns, and self esteem concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and pace. This is a collaborative conversation rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it helps them keep momentum between sessions and practice skills in everyday routines.
