About Courtney
Courtney Dunson, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, addiction, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, sleeping and eating problems, anger, and self-esteem difficulties. Her approach emphasizes stabilizing emotional responses before processing painful memories.
Courtney describes herself as trauma informed and focuses first on building resilience in the nervous system. She uses practical skills to help reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Therapy sessions include clear goals and concrete tools clients can use between meetings.
Her methods draw on attachment-based therapy, client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational interviewing. These approaches are used to address patterns such as abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency, communication problems, control issues, dissociation, and compulsive behaviors.
People also bring concerns about body image, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, life purpose, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship dynamics, and post-traumatic stress. Courtney works to identify patterns that maintain distress and then practices skills to shift those patterns over time.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It helps people notice how early and current relationship experiences shape feelings and reactions, and it supports building more secure ways of relating. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the persons perspective and uses open conversation to clarify goals and priorities. It helps people make changes at their own pace and feel understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, OCD, and sleeping or eating issues.Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions include skill practice, goal-setting, and stepwise plans that are adjusted as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports consistent practice of skills between sessions. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and what format will be used when you complete the matching questionnaire.
