Courtney Burrus

Courtney Burrus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, and questions about life purpose. She also addresses eating and body image concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and coping with major life changes.

Courtney focuses on talking through what feels stuck and practical steps to change patterns. She uses client-centered conversations to help people name their priorities. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Internal Family Systems work is used when past parts or internal conflicts keep people from moving forward.

Sessions often include problem-solving and brief solution-focused experiments that can be tried between meetings. Courtney pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment wounds, and how those patterns affect adult relationships and parenting. She also addresses substance use and codependency with clear, goal-oriented work.

People meet with her to sort out work stress, fatherhood concerns, or the emptiness that can follow big changes. She will help clarify small, manageable steps and coaching-style guidance when that fits a person’s goals.

How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. In practice this means conversations that reflect back what matters to the client and invite choices about next steps. It suits people who need time to clarify values, life purpose, or relationship goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions together. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors through small experiments. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Internal Family Systems works with the different parts inside a person that carry emotions or roles. It helps people understand conflicting inner voices and reduce self-criticism, which can be helpful for trauma, attachment wounds, and repeated relationship patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with clients about goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit those needs. That decision is made together and can change as work progresses.

If you want to use online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking. The main practical benefit of online work is fitting meetings into a busy life - shorter check-ins around work, avoiding travel time, or using a phone call when bandwidth is limited. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises and between-session tasks so they work in remote meetings, helping people stay with consistent progress.
