About Courtney

Courtney Strong-Gurr is a licensed professional counselor in Arizona who helps people facing stress and anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and LGBT-related challenges. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family strains, grief, intimacy questions, body image and eating concerns, sleep problems, parenting stress, and career or life-change issues.

She aims to make sessions a place to speak openly without judgment. Conversations focus on what matters to the client right now.

Background and approach

The tone is practical and respectful, with an emphasis on building coping skills and clearer decision-making. Courtney draws from several approaches to meet different needs. She uses existential ideas to look at meaning and life choices, attachment-based ideas to notice relationship patterns, and client-centered principles to follow the client’s lead.

Cognitive methods and DBT skills are available when someone wants tools for emotion regulation and behavior change. She brings about ten years of experience to the work and holds an LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. That background shows a steady focus on helping people navigate difficult transitions and recurring concerns.

Sessions typically start by clarifying immediate struggles and goals. From there, Courtney and the client set a plan that fits the person’s life. The emphasis is on practical steps, clearer connections with others, and making choices that feel more aligned with personal values.

Online support

How different approaches work online

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and the feelings that come with big life decisions. Online sessions using this approach can help when someone feels stuck, unsure about direction, or troubled by loss of purpose. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. In remote sessions it helps people notice patterns in their connections and practice new ways of relating during conversations with the therapist.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily life. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and checking in regularly to see what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical benefits like easier scheduling and more flexible meeting places. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face to face and work through emotional material. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or a way to stay connected when time is tight. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while using therapeutic approaches that aim to clarify choices and build coping skills.
