About Courtney
Courtney Cafaro, LMHC, LPC, is licensed in Pennsylvania and has seven years of experience in the mental health field. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, grief, eating concerns, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, and ADHD. Her stated approach emphasizes letting clients guide the focus while she gathers goals and background to shape treatment.
Courtney uses a person-centered stance where clients help set the session direction. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and strength-based perspectives to address symptoms and develop coping skills. She notes that treatment does not always fit a single label and often combines elements to match what a person needs.
In initial sessions she collects information about why someone reached out and what they hope to gain. Those first meetings focus on building rapport and clarifying goals. From there she determines which approaches will be most appropriate for ongoing work.
Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in forensic psychology. She has worked with a wide range of diagnoses, including PTSD and psychosis, as well as mood and anxiety conditions.
Courtney frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people develop practical coping strategies, address current stressors, and work toward clearer goals. She offers services in English and practices in Pennsylvania.

How evidence-based approaches guide remote care
Person-centered work focuses on listening to what matters most to the client and letting their priorities shape sessions. This approach helps when someone needs to set goals and decide what to address first.Cognitive behavioral techniques look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. They are used to build practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress through focused exercises and small behavior changes.
Strength-based elements highlight a person’s existing resources and skills. This helps people draw on what already works for them when facing cravings, grief, or life transitions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals and pick methods that match those goals and preferences. Sessions evolve as needs change.
Confirm session options before booking since specific online formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote appointments.
