About Courtney
Courtney Groce is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship problems, and the transitions common in young adulthood.
Courtney focuses on building self-esteem and communication skills. She helps people develop coping strategies for mood challenges, grief, anger, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses concerns related to parenting, family of origin issues, and identity questions including LGBT matters.
Her sessions use straightforward, evidence-informed methods drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work. Clients can expect to talk through patterns of thinking and behavior, practice new ways of responding, and set short-term goals for managing daily stressors.
She also integrates client-centered and existential ideas to help people reflect on values, meaning, and the choices they face in early adulthood. The Gottman Method is used when relationship skills and communication are a focus, particularly for improving interaction patterns.
Courtney has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, adoption and foster care issues, ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, and substance use challenges. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online options.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck during life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and practicing concrete changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. The Gottman Method targets relationship interaction patterns and communication skills to reduce conflict and build clearer ways of talking and listening.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and practical needs. Sessions may include talking, skill practice, reflective exercises, and short homework tasks to try between meetings.
