About Courtney

Courtney Threats, LICSW, focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or addiction. She works in a straightforward way and helps clients notice strengths they already have. Courtney believes taking the first step toward therapy is a courageous move and acknowledges that decision with warmth and respect.

She uses practical methods that aim to change unhelpful patterns and improve day-to-day coping. Sessions emphasize clear goals, small changes, and skills people can use between meetings.

Background and approach

She also pays attention to how past hurt and attachment concerns shape present relationships. Courtney blends evidence-based tools with a person-centered attitude. That means she listens closely and adapts strategies to fit each person’s needs.

Interventions may include exercises to shift thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness practices, and communication skills work. The Gottman Method is part of her approach when relationship interactions are a focus. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered techniques to help people manage mood, cravings, or emotional pain.

Her background includes a decade of clinical work in Rhode Island supporting people through trauma, depression, and substance use challenges. Sessions are offered in English and she works via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The aim is to create steady progress, one step at a time.

Online support

Approaches that fit online care

Courtney uses the Gottman Method when relationship patterns and communication are a main focus; this approach involves structured exercises and skill practice to change interaction cycles and reduce conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unpleasant thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then move toward meaningful actions even when emotions are difficult.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to your concerns and goals, then suggest which methods make sense. That decision is collaborative and may combine techniques from different approaches based on what helps you make steady progress.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for fuller conversation and exercises, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel and to keep momentum between meetings.
