Courtney Lopez, LCSW, CSW

Courtney Lopez is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) who focuses on grief, life adjustments, and building everyday coping skills. She brings a calm, non-judgmental approach and works to help people change choices, emotions, relationships, and behaviors that feel stuck.

She uses practical tools to manage stress and anxiety. Mindfulness, grounding, and skills for emotion regulation are common parts of sessions. She also helps people navigate major life events such as divorce, adoption-related loss, and other forms of complex grief.

Her background includes nine years working with people facing big changes. That experience has shaped a straightforward style that emphasizes listening first and planning next steps together. Clients can expect clear, doable strategies rather than jargon-filled explanations.

Courtney blends several therapeutic approaches depending on the need. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors.

In sessions she leans on attachment-informed ideas to understand relationship patterns and DBT skills when emotion regulation is a major concern. The overall aim is steady, realistic progress toward better daily functioning and stronger relationships.

Approaches that guide online work and progress

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts while focusing on actions that match their values. It is useful for people feeling stuck by anxiety, low mood, or major life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can help when trust, abandonment, or repeated relationship problems arise.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which combination of ACT, attachment-focused work, CBT, or DBT skills fits the situation and can be adjusted as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it simpler to continue care through life transitions and geographic moves. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and skill-building to work well in remote sessions when that format is offered.
