About Courtney
Courtney Lopez is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) who focuses on helping people navigate grief, life changes, and everyday stress. She brings a calm, nonjudgmental approach and aims to help people make practical changes that improve mood and relationships. She uses straightforward conversation and gentle guidance to help people sort out strong feelings.
That can mean naming what feels overwhelming, trying new ways to cope, or shifting ordinary patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Background and approach
She emphasizes clear steps people can use between sessions. Courtney draws on Narrative ideas to look at the stories people tell about themselves. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help with relationships and painful emotions.
These approaches help people notice unhelpful thinking, accept difficult feelings, and reconnect with what matters most. Over nine years of practice she has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship problems, addiction concerns, and career or identity shifts. She also addresses areas such as abandonment, body image, codependency, and coping after loss or separation.
The focus is on practical coping and clearer choices. Sessions are offered in English and held with an eye toward what fits each person's life. Courtney meets people where they are, listens without judgment, and supports steady steps toward feeling more capable and in charge of day-to-day life.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Courtney directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How Narrative and ACT fit into online therapy
Online sessions can use Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. Narrative work looks at how a problem has been described and explores alternative storylines that highlight strengths and choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then taking action toward valued goals. Attachment-based ideas help people understand patterns in close relationships and try small changes to improve connection.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is noticed. Clients are invited to weigh what feels useful and what does not, so treatment can shift to fit individual needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to have brief check-ins, homework support, or more frequent touchpoints between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules or people who travel.
