Courtney Dunson

Courtney Dunson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people carrying heavy emotional burdens. She supports those struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, addictions, relationship struggles, and changes that feel overwhelming. Courtney speaks plainly in sessions and focuses on steady, practical steps people can use right away.

She approaches therapy with an emphasis on safety and stability before moving into painful memories. That means starting with skills to calm the nervous system, build emotional resilience, and improve day-to-day coping. Once a person feels steadier, she works together with them to address past trauma and attachment wounds at a pace that fits their needs.

Courtney combines several methods depending on the person’s goals. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at early relationship patterns, client-centered work to keep sessions grounded in the client’s priorities, and cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior techniques and motivational interviewing may also be used where they fit the situation.

Her experience includes support for eating and sleeping concerns, obsessive patterns, perfectionism and issues tied to self-esteem. She also helps people facing parenting stresses, intimacy-related problems, and life transitions that leave them unsure what comes next.

People who want a calm, step-by-step approach often find her style useful. To begin, readers should use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How her approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps people notice connection styles and learn new ways of relating to themselves and others. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's priorities first, giving space to tell their story and guiding work at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches clear skills to change them.

Finding the right approach is a gradual, collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time as needed.

Session format options are not specified in the biography, so readers should confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily demands, cut down on travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills from home and bring real-life examples into sessions for immediate feedback.
