About Courtney
LISW in Ohio with six years of clinical experience, Courtney Szabo helps adults manage stress, anxiety, trauma and life changes using client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral strategies. She focuses on parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, career struggles, and compassion fatigue. Sessions center on practical skills and direct communication.
Courtney emphasizes working where people feel most comfortable so they can use what they learn. She describes her style as direct, caring and supportive. Therapy focuses on the client's goals and experience rather than a fixed program.
Her work often addresses trauma and abuse survivors, depression, and anxiety. She also helps with family-related problems, family-of-origin concerns, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, and post-traumatic stress. Pregnancy, childbirth, workplace stress, and challenges faced by young adults are additional focus areas.
Courtney combines approaches rather than relying on a single model. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with mindfulness and solution-focused ideas, to teach tools for managing thoughts, feelings and behaviors. She may include trauma-focused techniques when the situation requires it.
Practical skills and education are emphasized alongside talk therapy. Clients can expect clear feedback, exercises to practice between sessions, and an emphasis on small, achievable changes. The goal is to build skills that make everyday challenges more manageable.

How her approaches work in remote sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. It teaches practical skills and exercises that clients can use between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and priorities. The therapist listens closely and provides direct feedback so clients can clarify goals and make decisions about next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Courtney will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs and preferences, adjusting techniques as goals evolve. This is a practical process based on what is helpful in weekly sessions.
Session logistics should be confirmed before scheduling since formats are not listed here. When arranged, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, allow brief check-ins during work breaks, or remove the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage. Ask about the specific session options offered before booking so arrangements match your daily routine.
