About Courtney
Courtney White is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in New York with over 10 years of professional experience. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression among the issues she works with. Courtney also notes experience with co-occurring conditions and intellectual disability.
She began her practice in upstate New York, spent many years working in Las Vegas, and returned to New York in 2017 to focus on licensing and local practice. That history shaped a practical approach to common life problems. Sessions are described as straightforward conversations that target what’s causing distress and what can be changed.
Courtney has worked with people facing addiction, dissociation, codependency, grief, family problems, and repeated feelings of emptiness. She also notes experience with abandonment issues, body image, and control struggles. She names disruptive mood dysregulation and developmental differences such as autism and Asperger syndrome among areas she has supported.
Her lived experience with depression is part of her perspective. She shares that recovery is possible and models coming back to regular life after diagnosis. She emphasizes respect and sensitivity in sessions and says she adapts discussions and plans to each person’s situation.

Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
Courtney uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems like anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict. Behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing new actions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. These methods are useful for stress, mood difficulties, and some addiction-related behaviors.Another common approach she draws on addresses how past trauma and attachment wounds affect present relationships and self-worth. That work looks at patterns of thinking, feeling, and reacting, and helps people try different ways of relating and coping. It can be helpful for abandonment fears, codependency, and trust issues.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with clients to decide which techniques match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
If you plan to have sessions online, confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work, or busy schedules. They can shorten travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from quieter surroundings without being on camera every time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to an online setting so work continues between sessions.
