About Courtney
Courtney Groce is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping adults manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She also supports people dealing with relationship troubles, parenting strains, grief, and career transitions.
Her work is straightforward and practical. She listens to what is happening now and helps people name patterns that cause repeated frustration. Sessions often include talk, problem-solving, and trying out new ways to respond to triggers. She also helps clients build habits that reduce tension over time.
Courtney uses several well-known methods to guide her work. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice thoughts and change unhelpful behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used when values and committed action are helpful. Client-Centered Therapy keeps conversations grounded in the client's perspective and goals.
She also brings tools from mindfulness and existential ideas to help people tolerate hard feelings and find clearer direction. The Gottman Method informs her approach to relationship communication and conflict when that is a concern. These methods are mixed to address concrete problems like anger, work frustration, and communication breakdowns.
People who connect with her tend to want clear steps and real-world tools. She supports clients who are managing mood disorders, ADHD, trauma, or the fallout from family and caregiving stress. Sessions are held with respect for each person's background and lived experience.
How her approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and testing small behavior changes. Online sessions can guide clients to try new responses to anger and report back on what worked. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values and committed action; it helps people accept strong feelings while choosing actions that matter to them.Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the client's own goals and perspective. That approach supports collaborative planning so the therapist and client decide which tools to try and how to adapt them for daily life. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work and happens together, based on the client's needs and preferences.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer options that don’t require travel, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists can suggest practical exercises to use between sessions so changes carry over into everyday situations.
