About Courtney
Courtney Murphy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 25 years of practice. She focuses on relationship concerns, grief, stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. She talks directly about problems and helps people make workable next steps.
Courtney frames sessions around everyday life pressures like work, family responsibilities, health, and community roles. She listens for patterns such as abandonment or attachment issues and helps people notice how those patterns affect current relationships. Conversations also address communication problems, control issues, and feeling isolated.
When grief or loss is the focus, she breaks the process into manageable steps and discusses coping strategies that fit daily routines. For anxiety, panic, and stress she helps clients identify triggers and build small skills to reduce intense moments. For depression she works on practical changes that can improve mood and activity levels.
Courtney also supports people dealing with body image, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose or midlife transition. She talks through impulsivity and post-traumatic stress in clear, concrete terms rather than abstract theory.
Her approach is direct and practical. She and the client set goals and review progress together. Sessions aim to leave people with specific ideas they can try between meetings.
To begin, clients follow the directory process to match and schedule an initial session. Courtney accepts international clients and conducts work in English.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Courtney uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in straightforward ways that aim to change specific thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive-based approaches help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of thinking; these can help with anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms. Behavioral strategies focus on small, concrete actions such as activity scheduling, exposure steps for panic, or communication practices for relationship issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She discusses options with each person and chooses techniques based on the client's goals, current problems, and what feels workable. That collaborative decision helps shape a plan with clear steps and checkpoints.
The profile does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking so you know whether sessions are by video, phone, or another method. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other obligations. They also allow shorter check-ins when a full visit is not needed, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to continue care when schedules change.
