About Courtney

Courtney Groce is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people handle anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and relationship stress. Her approach emphasizes practical skills and steady support so clients can regain footing when life feels overwhelming.

She draws on treatments such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to tailor sessions to each person. Conversations usually center on building self-esteem, improving communication, and finding coping strategies that fit daily life. Courtney aims to keep sessions straightforward and action-oriented while honoring each person's story.

Courtney pays attention to cultural context and to situations that often complicate healing, like grief, trauma, caregiver strain, and adoption or foster care-related concerns. She works with people facing mood disorders, transitions, and addiction challenges, helping them identify next steps and manageable goals. Her style blends empathy with clear, teachable techniques.

Clients can expect a collaborative pace where goals are reviewed and adjusted as needed. Exercises between sessions may be suggested to practice new skills and track progress. The overall focus is on making therapy useful for everyday life rather than only discussing problems.

Her background includes a decade of clinical work in Missouri settings and ongoing use of well-established therapeutic methods. Courtney emphasizes respectful listening, practical tools, and steady partnership while people work toward clearer direction and emotional relief.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing mood or addiction-related habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choosing actions that reflect personal values; this can help with anxiety, stress, and life changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, using empathetic listening to build trust and clarify goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans can be adjusted over time as progress and new priorities emerge.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach practical skills, coach through difficult moments, and maintain regular contact while clients work on daily-life goals.
