Courtney Dix

Courtney Dix is a Kentucky-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 11 years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, motivation, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Her work often addresses related areas such as attachment questions, body image, and relationship transitions.

Courtney uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels off and to try small, practical changes. She draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of acting. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills can be used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Courtney aims to break bigger problems into manageable steps. People can expect to practice skills between meetings and check what does or does not work.

Her background in social work brings attention to everyday stresses and the systems that affect them. She also incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support decision-making and reduce reactivity.

People often come for help with parenting strain, life purpose questions, panic or social anxiety, grief around separation, or money-related stress. The approach is practical and collaborative, helping clients weigh options and try different strategies to move forward.

How her approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and experiment with different behaviors. Online sessions can use brief exercises and homework to notice thinking patterns and test small changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to what matters most to the person and shaping sessions around those priorities. This approach helps keep sessions practical and personally relevant when meeting remotely.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Courtney will collaborate with each person to decide which tools to try based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining CBT skills, mindfulness practices, or DBT techniques over several sessions to see what fits best.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and use phone or video in ways that suit everyday life. The focus is on making sessions practical and usable between meetings, so skills and small experiments can be put into practice.
