Online therapy that matches your goals and style

Courtney Gum draws from several evidence-informed approaches to help clients work through concerns like stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, and attention or focus challenges.

Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach can be especially helpful when someone feels overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practicing new skills to respond differently. It often supports clients who want practical tools for managing worry, mood shifts, and day-to-day coping.

Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes learning to relate to thoughts and emotions with more awareness and less reactivity. Many clients use mindfulness skills to feel more grounded, build resilience, and navigate intense feelings with greater steadiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Courtney works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences, and adjusts along the way as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy can make it easier to get consistent support. Sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible options that can fit different schedules, energy levels, and communication styles.
