About Courtney
Courtney Threats is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and addiction concerns. She asks questions that help people reflect on what matters to them and builds on their existing strengths. Taking that first step toward therapy is often hard, and she acknowledges the courage it takes to begin.
Courtney uses straightforward conversations to explore how daily habits, relationships, and past hurts affect current life. She draws on methods like acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness to help people notice painful thoughts and choose values-based actions. Sessions also incorporate client-centered listening so the person’s goals lead the work.
For relationship concerns she integrates skills-oriented approaches such as the Gottman Method to address communication patterns and repair cycles. When addiction or impulsive behavior is present, motivational interviewing techniques support readiness for change and practical next steps. She pays attention to attachment wounds, abandonment fears, and issues like codependency or trust after betrayal.
Courtney practices in Rhode Island and offers services in English. Her background includes a mix of settings that shaped a practical style - short-term skill work plus deeper, reflective work when needed. She aims to help people find clearer thinking, steadier emotion, and more satisfying connections.
If you want to start, be prepared to share what brought you to therapy, your goals, and some recent patterns you’d like to change. That information helps shape a plan that fits your life and priorities.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress that gets in the way of daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often works well for anxiety, depression, and habit change like substance use. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so the person directs the pace and topics of sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps set realistic, short-term steps as well as longer-term aims.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats offered before booking since formats were not specified in the original profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also offer more consistent access for those juggling work or family demands, while the therapist and client adjust methods to match the online setting.
