Courtney Hendrickson, LCSW

Courtney Hendrickson is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker with eight years of professional therapy experience and more than 20 years in social work. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and family conflict while also addressing trauma and abuse. Courtney emphasizes working together and respects each person's strengths and story.

Her approach is practical and team-oriented. She helps clients notice strengths, set realistic goals, and take small steps toward change. She often supports teens and young adults in finding their voice and direction, and uses methods that engage parents and children when family goals overlap.

Courtney has experience supporting people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, and loneliness. She also works with concerns around life purpose, self-esteem, and post-traumatic stress. Her background includes hands-on roles with diverse populations, which inform how she tailors support to each person.

She holds a Florida LCSW, which she pursued to better serve clients, and has training in the High-Fidelity Wraparound model. That model helps build a team around a person’s goals and can be useful when parents and children want to work toward shared outcomes.

Courtney has received recognition for her work with youth and survivors of domestic and teen violence. She aims to be an encouraging co-pilot through change, helping people take courageous first steps and not face challenges alone.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy fit

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on understanding how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviors. One approach often used in trauma-informed work helps people name and process distressing memories while building coping skills to manage strong emotions; this approach can help with post-traumatic stress and anxiety. Another common approach emphasizes building practical skills for communication, problem solving, and self-worth so people can handle stress and relationship strain day to day.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches feel useful. That decision is based on the client's goals, history, and what feels realistic in everyday life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people access a licensed professional from their own community while focusing on practical steps to manage stress, trauma-related symptoms, or family concerns.
