Courtney Brooke Sergent-Fox

Courtney Brooke Sergent-Fox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, career uncertainty, and major life changes. She also helps with grief, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related concerns, and issues around life purpose and midlife transitions.

She approaches sessions as a place to talk through what feels confusing or stuck. She treats clients as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. In conversation she uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused work to identify patterns and small steps forward.

Courtney also uses mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to increase clarity and commitment. For people with trauma memories or distressing events she lists eye movement desensitization and reprocessing as an approach she uses. These methods are applied in straightforward ways to daily problems like workplace stress, communication breakdowns, and money worries.

Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and doable actions rather than abstract theory. She helps people break big concerns into manageable tasks and track progress. Expect direct, plain language and an emphasis on what can change in day-to-day life.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions using CBT typically focus on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or workplace stress.

EMDR is a method used to lessen the hold of upsetting memories. In an online setting it involves guided processing of distressing events and pairing that work with structured eye movements or other bilateral stimulation, aimed at lowering the intensity of traumatic memories.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase clarity. These practices can be used between sessions to manage stress and improve focus during career or relationship decision points.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Courtney will discuss which methods may fit best based on a client’s goals, history, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break or video conversations that avoid travel time. It can also allow methods like EMDR and mindfulness to be practiced in the moments when they are most useful.
