About Courtney
Courtney Krolikowski is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, with eight years of clinical experience. She practices out of Wisconsin and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and anger. Sessions are driven by the goals the client brings.
Courtney earned a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Benedictine University in Illinois. She has held professional licenses in multiple states and has experience supporting people through court-ordered programs and trauma-focused care. Her background includes work with survivors of domestic violence and people who have been court ordered for anger management or parenting classes.
Her approach centers on the client’s priorities. She describes the client as the driver and herself as the passenger - helping guide practical steps toward the goals the client sets. That looks like talking through problems, trying out new behaviors, and reviewing what works.
Across eight years she has worked with clients for a wide range of concerns including addictions, bipolar disorder, eating and sleeping issues, grief, and career stress. She has supported people of varied identities, including LGBTQ clients, and offers coaching-style elements when helpful.
People who contact Courtney should expect straightforward, goal-focused work. She helps break big issues into manageable steps and focuses on actions clients can try between sessions. For online or international work, confirm current session options before scheduling.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Courtney uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and change. One common approach she uses is trauma-focused cognitive behavioral methods, which involve identifying distressing thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms related to trauma and stress. This approach can help with anger that is tied to past trauma or overwhelming memories.She also emphasizes person-centered methods that keep the client’s goals in charge of the work. That means sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on concrete steps they can try between meetings, such as communication experiments or coping strategies for strong emotions.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. Courtney will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts plans as progress is made and checks in regularly about what is helping.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. It can also let someone continue work with a licensed professional when relocation or distance would otherwise interrupt care.
