About Courtney

Courtney Groce is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday problems that weigh on adults, such as anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, and relationship issues. Courtney also lists blended family issues and parenting among her practice areas, and she sees clients about grief, trauma, and career concerns.

Courtney uses practical, evidence-informed methods to address problems. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered approaches to help people notice what matters and take small steps toward it.

Sessions are straightforward. Courtney helps people work through communication problems, codependency, commitment issues, and coping with life changes. She talks through strategies for managing anger, compassion fatigue, and ADHD symptoms in daily routines. The work often looks like setting concrete goals and trying new ways of responding between sessions.

For someone in a stephousehold, she can discuss role changes, loyalty conflicts, co-parenting challenges, and blending routines. Conversations may include family of origin patterns and adoption or foster care issues when relevant. She does not present legal or custody advice but will focus on emotional and communication tools.

Courtney offers a respectful, direct style that aims to clarify next steps. People can expect clear suggestions, practiceable skills, and a focus on measurable progress over time.

How her methods translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people name what matters and take small, values-based actions even when emotions are difficult. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and works through practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's perspective and prioritizes active listening and collaboration in setting goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change over time based on what helps you make progress.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also let people use camera-off calls when they prefer less visual focus, or choose longer sessions when tackling complex issues. Ask about the available formats when you complete the initial matching questionnaire.
