About Courtney
Courtney Threats is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Rhode Island with 10 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma and depression. Courtney also lists work with LGBT concerns and blended family issues among her focus areas.
Courtney centers the conversation on the person's story and strengths. She uses practical talk and listening to identify what feels most urgent and what can change. Sessions are aimed at learning small, doable steps that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and alter behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clearer values and flexible action when feelings are intense. Mindfulness exercises are offered to build attention and calm.
She also incorporates client-centered methods that place the person's perspective at the center of therapy. For relationship concerns, elements of the Gottman Method may be used to address communication patterns and repair work. The emphasis is on straightforward skills people can practice between sessions.
If someone is managing blended household stress, co-parenting friction, loyalty tensions, or a partner's recovery, Courtney helps talk through next steps and practical coping strategies. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and issues that involve avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and practicing alternatives between sessions. That structure can help with stress, cravings, and relationship communication. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to pick approaches that match their goals, preferences, and the practical challenges they bring from day to day. Sessions often combine talking, skill practice, and short exercises to try at home so progress is measurable.
