    About Courtney

    Courtney Brooke Sergent-Fox is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical help for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. She provides calm, straightforward support for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, career difficulties, and life changes. Her approach centers on the client's strengths and goals.

    With a decade of professional experience, she draws on several approaches to meet different needs. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build momentum. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and improve emotional presence.

    She also brings techniques from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for clients who have distressing memories they want to process, and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify clear, short-term steps when rapid change is a goal. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, and the pace is set with each person’s comfort in mind.

    Courtney emphasizes practical tools clients can use between sessions, like simple coping skills and communication strategies. She encourages people to recognize their existing strengths and build on them. Her tone is direct but empathetic, aimed at helping people make meaningful progress.

    She practices in Kentucky and conducts work in English. To begin, interested people complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

  2. How her approaches translate to online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons for change. It uses curious, nonjudgmental questions to build motivation and commitment, which can help with career shifts, substance choices, or life transitions.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors for issues like anxiety and workplace stress.

    EMDR is a method some people use to process painful memories that continue to cause distress. When appropriate, it is used carefully in sessions to reduce the intensity of those memories and their impact on daily life.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then choose or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made based on what helps most.

    Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine and lower barriers to attending regularly. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Many people find that talk-based approaches and skill practice translate well to remote appointments and can be adapted to individual schedules and needs.
