About Courtney
Courtney Rankin is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with five years of professional experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, family conflict, grief and loss, and common mental health struggles such as anxiety and depression.
Courtney helps people navigate major life changes and the stress that comes with them. She also works with intimacy-related issues, self-esteem concerns, career questions, trauma and abuse, and attention-related challenges like ADHD. Sessions are described as client-centered and based on unconditional positive regard.
In practice she adapts conversation and goals to each person's needs. That means she will shape sessions around what a client wants to address and how they prefer to work. The emphasis is on clear, practical discussion rather than abstract theory.
She aims to make starting therapy easier for people who feel unsure about the first step. Courtney encourages small, manageable goals and steady progress across sessions. This keeps work focused and measurable.
Her background across five years includes direct clinical work with the stated concerns. People can expect straightforward feedback, goal setting, and a conversational style that centers the client's priorities.

How therapeutic approaches guide remote work
Courtney describes her work as evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to each person. One common approach focuses on practical problem solving and skill building to reduce anxiety and manage stress. This involves identifying specific thoughts or behaviors that cause distress and practicing alternatives in session and between meetings.Another frequent element is grief-focused support that helps people process loss in stepwise ways. That may include naming feelings, tracking triggers, and creating short coping strategies to use during hard moments. For relationship and intimacy concerns she emphasizes clear communication skills and goal setting to change patterns that cause conflict.
Finding the right method is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to choose which techniques to try, adjust them over time, and set measurable goals. The clinician-client partnership decides what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss scheduling and format choices during the initial matching process to pick an arrangement that works with daily life.
