02 · In Courtney's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I am licensed in Florida with 8 years of professional therapy experience while having worked in the Social Work field for over 20 years. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I am here to help you navigate those strengths to heal and overcome difficult moments in your life. Change can be very hard, and I recognize that it takes courage to take the first steps towards that change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey as well as make sure you are not taking it alone. We are a team, and I will be your co-pilot as we navigate journey together. I have worked with many populations throughout my career which led me towards my LCSW to better help clients. I have worked with clients of all ages and backgrounds but have always come back to helping teens and young adults find their voice and path. I am certified in the High-Fidelity Wraparound (HFW) model which helps clients reach their goals and creates a team to assist them with their goals. I am also a certified trainer for HFW. I find this model is a great tool for parents and their children to work together to reach individual and mutual goals for the family. I have won a Cooperman-Bogue Award from the Juvenile Welfare Board for my work with youth as well as the Pinellas County Domestic Violence Task Force Leadership Award for my work with Domestic and Teen Violence survivors. I look forward to meeting you and helping you create your goals for your future!

03 · What happens next
Courtney practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Courtney's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Courtney at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Courtney is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Courtney.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Courtney actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Courtney's - Courtney has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
