About Courtney

Courtney Groce is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship issues, anger, parenting concerns, and related life changes. She works with people facing trauma, grief, and challenges tied to identity and career shifts.

Her approach blends practical methods and open conversation. Sessions aim to build clearer communication, steadier coping skills, and healthier routines. She uses concrete tools rather than vague promises, and helps people notice which strategies fit their daily lives.

Courtney draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also uses Client-Centered techniques to keep sessions rooted in the client's concerns and the Gottman Method when relationship communication is a focus. These methods guide the work rather than define it.

She pays attention to how past experiences affect current behavior, including family of origin issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care dynamics, and blended family concerns. She also works with people dealing with ADHD, bipolar disorder, substance use, and compassion fatigue, among other challenges.

Courtney frames therapy as a practical collaboration. She helps people develop skills for managing anger, reducing resentment, and communicating needs more effectively. If you want straightforward support for temper, stress, or relationship strain, she offers steady clinical experience and clear techniques.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Courtney frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when difficult feelings are present. CBT looks at thought patterns and behavior to reduce unhelpful reactions and build more effective coping skills.

She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy principles, keeping the client's goals and perspective central during sessions. That means she listens for what matters most to the client and adjusts the focus based on their needs and preferences. Together you will decide which approach feels most helpful and refine that plan as you go.

Confirm the specific session options before booking because the profile does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule - shorter check-ins can be squeezed into a break, and sessions avoid travel time. Some formats also use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help when a quieter or simpler setup is needed. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and tools to how you live, so practical access and fit are part of the therapeutic discussion.
