About Courtney

Courtney Mayfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and life transitions. Sessions address practical problems such as coping with change, impulsivity, and mood shifts.

Her style centers on straightforward conversation and practical skills. She uses client-centered methods to help people clarify goals and feel heard. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thought patterns that fuel anger and anxiety, and on mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.

Courtney pays attention to relational and family-related concerns without running family or couples sessions by default. She helps individuals handle issues tied to adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, attachment questions, and caregiver stress. She also supports work through forgiveness, guilt, shame, and communication problems.

People who come to her can expect collaborative planning. She helps set small, manageable goals and teaches exercises to use between sessions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools are used to build momentum and track progress over time.

Her background includes extended work with mood disorders, ADHD, OCD-related symptoms, postpartum depression, and trauma and abuse. That experience informs how she approaches safety, pacing, and practical coping skills for intense feelings like anger and shame.

For someone wanting concrete ways to manage temper, Courtney blends skill-building with listening. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier responses, and more useful ways to handle stress in daily life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Courtney commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client set clear goals; it helps when someone needs someone to reflect back what they are experiencing and organize next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anger, anxiety, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, combining approaches when that makes sense. This is a collaborative selection rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Confirm the session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can assign brief between-session exercises, use guided mindfulness practice, and review thought records together in a way that slots into everyday life.
