About Courtney
Courtney Groce is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are wrestling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addictions, and family-related concerns. She also addresses parenting stress, career strain, grief, and issues tied to attention and mood regulation.
Her approach focuses on practical steps that change daily life. Sessions often include talking through difficult feelings, spotting unhelpful patterns, and trying new ways of responding. She uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered work.
Courtney pays attention to how family of origin experiences shape current choices and relationships. She helps people notice roles, expectations, and communication habits they picked up growing up. That work often ties into concerns about attachment, blended family dynamics, and codependency.
She also supports people dealing with addiction, divorce and separation, adoption and foster care questions, and caregiver stress. Sessions can cover coping strategies for burnout and compassion fatigue, and ways to manage anger and mood swings.
Courtney aims to make sessions straightforward and focused. She helps clients set concrete goals, practice new skills between meetings, and check progress over time. For people looking to understand how early family patterns still affect them, she offers clear, practical guidance in therapy.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Courtney draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety and life transitions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can make their own discoveries and feel heard. CBT targets specific thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative plan can change over time as needs and priorities shift.
