    About Courtney

    Courtney Jones is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 15 years of experience helping people face stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She emphasizes the client’s own strengths and goals in each session.

    Courtney believes people know their stories best. She works alongside clients to build motivation and confidence. Sessions focus on small, doable steps toward change rather than sweeping promises.

    Her approach draws on several methods to match a person’s needs. She often uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find and sustain motivation. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered techniques to support values-based choices and open, respectful conversation.

    Courtney has worked with concerns ranging from mood disorders and ADHD to grief, parenting stress, and substance use. She also addresses body image, communication difficulties, caregiver strain, and issues tied to family of origin. Her work includes both practical coping skills and attention to deeper personal values.

    Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s readiness. Courtney aims to offer clear steps, realistic goals, and steady support as people try new habits. She encourages anyone considering therapy to take the first step and explore what change might look like for them.

  2. How motivational and values-based methods work online

    Motivational Interviewing helps people identify what really matters to them and boosts willingness to try change. It focuses on drawing out a person's own reasons for change rather than pushing advice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches how to notice thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward a valued life. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. That conversation guides whether Motivational Interviewing, ACT, or client-centered listening fits best. The process is collaborative and adaptively adjusted over time.

    The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep regular momentum between sessions while working on motivation, values, and practical coping skills with a licensed professional.
