About Cortney
Cortney Edwards is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of experience. She works with young adults and others on concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar mood issues, stress, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy problems, and life transitions. Cortney also lists focus areas that include ADHD, attachment and communication difficulties, and gender dysphoria.
She uses practical talking and listening to identify what is most pressing for each person. Sessions tend to focus on understanding how past relationships affect current patterns, identifying unhelpful thoughts, and developing clearer communication with others. Cortney draws from approaches like attachment-based work, client-centered listening, CBT, and mindfulness to help people set small, achievable goals.
In sessions she pays attention to how a person connects with others and with themselves. That can mean tracing how family background shapes current struggles, practicing simple mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity, or trying out new ways to talk about needs. She also offers solution-focused steps for immediate problems, such as coping with a work deadline or navigating a difficult conversation.
Cortney's background includes clinical work in private practice and school settings. She has supported people through pregnancy and postpartum concerns, parenting challenges, and the stress of early adulthood transitions. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aiming to make therapy useful for everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective questions to notice how past connections show up now and guide changes in how someone relates to others.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and responding to a person's experience without judgment. That approach helps people clarify their priorities, name their feelings, and guide the session toward what matters most to them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. In an online setting CBT can include structured worksheets, short behavioral experiments between sessions, and practice of skills like thought records or breathing exercises.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining strategies - for example using mindfulness to reduce reactivity and CBT tools to shift thinking patterns.
