About Courtney
Courtney Groce is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, addiction concerns, and the emotional fallout from relationship problems and life transitions. Her practice includes support for parenting strain, grief, and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar mood patterns.
Courtney uses plain talk and steady guidance in sessions. She aims to help clients build self-esteem, improve communication, and find practical ways to cope with strong emotions. She also works with people processing trauma, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and the effects of family of origin problems.
Her approach pulls from several well-known methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered listening, existential reflection, and elements of the Gottman Method for relationship work. She frames interventions so they match each person’s goals and daily life.
Courtney pays attention to cultural context and to how life transitions shape feelings and choices. She supports people facing compassion fatigue and those coping with natural or human-caused disaster. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
People who find this work helpful tend to want clear tools and honest conversation. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to the immediate problems and to longer-term patterns that affect relationships and well-being.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing new skills to change how someone feels and functions; it often helps with stress, mood problems, and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and building a trusting relationship so people can explore their concerns at their own pace and find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are expected as progress unfolds.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to remote sessions and use conversation and structured practice to help people apply new skills in daily life.
