Courtney Willis, LPC

Courtney Willis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports people facing relationship strain, family conflict, career stress, bipolar challenges, compassion fatigue, and effects of trauma and abuse.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are shaped to match what an individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Conversations and goals are practical and focused on skills people can use between meetings.

Courtney uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build more effective habits. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies to help people with emotional regulation and coping skills when feelings feel overwhelming.

Her work often centers on short-term problem solving and learning tools that make daily life more manageable. She helps people set clear, realistic goals and track progress over time. The tone in sessions is direct yet supportive, with an emphasis on usable strategies.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and she recognizes that courage it takes. People who start with Courtney can expect straightforward conversations, individualized plans, and a focus on practical steps toward feeling better.

How CBT and DBT Shape Online Therapy

CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that follow. It often uses simple exercises and homework to build new habits and reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. DBT focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and building interpersonal skills to handle strong feelings and conflict.

Courtney approaches treatment as a collaborative process. She works with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and what feels most useful. Over time she adjusts the approach so it matches how someone is progressing and what challenges come up.

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 life, shorten travel time, and allow for steady, regular check-ins. Many people find that using CBT and DBT techniques in remote sessions still produces practical benefits like better emotion management, clearer thinking, and improved day-to-day coping.
